When Things Went Right: The Dawn of the Reagan–Bush Administration
We have in this chronicle an insider's account of the presidential administration that began in January 1981. Chase Untermeyer, present at the creation, served in the office of Vice-President George Herbert Walker Bush and throughout kept lengthy personal diary accounts of the day-to-day activities over 26 months. A mere tenth of that record finds its way into the narrative, and Untermeyer avows that the book “does not pretend to be great history…
ANDREW Jewett. Science, Democracy, and the American University: From the Civil War to the Cold War
In this ambitious and wide-ranging study, Andrew Jewett invites us to reconsider the parameters of American intellectual history. He offers science, in terms of its meanings and purposes, as the vehicle for doing so. Modern conceptions of science, Jewett believes, have distorted our understanding and misled us about science's place in American thinking from the mid-nineteenth century into the late twentieth. Conventional wisdom came to see scienc…
Reading Liberal Theology
Gary Dorrien has presented to all who have an interest in religion, and religious ideas especially, a magnificent piece of scholarship. These three volumes on liberal theology in the United States have value in the massive amount of writings they bring under study and into the mainstream of American intellectual history. To that extent they address a historiographical gap; conservative thinking in the long evangelical tradition down to the contem…

Philosophy and Progressivism in Wisconsin: John Bascom at the University, 1874-1887
Président de l’Université du Wisconsin entre 1874 et 1887, le philosophe John Bascom profita de son mandat pour étendre ses théories aux problèmes sociaux et économiques. C’est ainsi qu’il se trouva à l’avant-garde des mouvements en faveur de la prohibition, des droits des femmes et des droits syndicaux. Il contribua aussi au progressisme du Wisconsin par son influence sur l’un de ses étudiants, le futur gouverneur Robert M. LaFollette, qui lui v…

Populism, Politics, and Public Policy: 1970S Conservatism
A quarter century and more has passed since the 1970s made its debut. History, always problematic as an objective undertaking, encourages present-mindedness when proximity to events in question governs our perspectives. This article does not pretend to have avoided this pitfall. Today the animus against government dominates political discourse. “Outsiders” who aspire to office boast of that status; “insiders” obscure theirs. All politicians desig…
