Atlantic Crossings Revisited
This roundtable reflects on the 25th anniversary of the publication of Daniel T. Rodgers’s Atlantic Crossings: Social Politics in a Progressive Age (Harvard, 1998), a classic in our field
Horace M. Kallen in the Heartland: The Midwestern Roots of American Pluralism
The philosopher and social thinker Horace M. Kallen (1882–1974) is rightly known for coining the term and promoting the concept of cultural pluralism, the intellectual progenitor of multiculturalism created in the first part of the twentieth century to push back against the idea that Anglo-American culture should be normative in the United States and the assimilationist “melting pot” ideal. Kallen, who grew up in Boston after immigrating from Sil…
The American Mind Is Dead, Long Live the American Mind
The story of American intellectual history has a mythic quality: a slow beginning, a rise to great heights, and a precipitous fall. Early in the twentieth century, the study of American history and literature grew in American colleges and universities, after many years of teaching European ideas in lieu of an American canon. Then, from a literature department arose Vernon Louis Parrington and from an American studies department Perry Miller—their…

Philosophy of Religion in the Classical American Tradition
J. Caleb Clanton offers a tidy volume on how the philosophy of religion has been interpreted by American pragmatists and their philosophical descendants. He confers upon this tradition the normalizing title “classical” and seems to have chosen the relevant figures on the basis of their academic stature and connection to the seminal pragmatist William James. Clanton does not consider how such pragmatist intellectuals as W. E. B. Du Bois and Jane A…

Ghosts of Futures Past: Spiritualism and the Cultural Politics of Nineteenth-Century America. By Molly McGarry
Here comes trouble. It has been twenty years since Ann Braude's Radical Spirits made the academic study of American spiritualism respectable by taking its connection with women's rights seriously. Since the study of religious history has moved from denominational and church history to histories of experience, practice, and meaning, spiritualism has become yet another field to mine for insights into American religious character. Now Molly McGarry,…
The International Social Turn: Unity and Brotherhood at the World's Parliament of Religions, Chicago, 1893
When the World's Parliament of Religions convened at the Columbian Exposition at Chicago in 1893, it brought together delegates of Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, Islam, and several varieties of Christianity. Recent critics of the event have noted that the overwhelmingly Protestant organizers imposed their own culturally specific views of what constitutes religion on the non-Christian participants. But the guiding refrain of the Parliament-…
Dedicated spirits: Religious Mediators and Romantic Ideas in the Late Nineteenth Century
This article reconstructs a transatlantic community of discourse that used Romantic ideas to mediate between science and religion in order to create a framework for modern belief. The pragmatist William James, Scottish freelance intellectual Thomas Davidson, and ethical culturalist William Mackintire Salter in the United States, and the psychic researcher Frederic Myers and self‐published philosopher Shadworth Hollway Hodgson in England inherited…
