BOOKS •Raley, Harold C., José Ortega y Gasset: Philosopher of European Unity (University, Alabama: University of Alabama Press, 1971). Ortega and R-H have much in common, particularly in their understanding of history. Raley cites R-H in a number of footnotes and is full of praise (cf. p. 123n): “In language as powerful as Ortega’s and with an understanding at least as deep, [R-H] says of Rationalism: ‘The abstractions that prevailed in philosophy from Descartes to Spencer, and in politics from Machiavelli to Lenin, made caricatures of living men. etc.’” quoting from Out of Revolution. The European Union is in a phase now of determining essentially what “Europe” means, which inescapably calls attention to “its” history. Out of Revolution should find new readers because of this quest. Raley says of Out, “An extraordinary, indeed a stupendous, achievement in historiography, with fresh original insights on virtually every one of its 800 pages.” •Ritzkowsky, Ingrid, Rosenstock-Huessys Konzeption einer Grammatik der Gesellschaft (Berlin, 1973) • Rohrbach, Wilfrid, Das Sprachdenken Eugen Rosenstock-Huessys; historische Erörterung und systematische Explikation (Stuttgart: W.

  • Introduction the Regional History Project Conducted Five Interviews
    Introduction The Regional History Project conducted five interviews with Page Smith from January 23 to July 17, 1974, as part of its University History series. During the last interview session, Smith informed his interviewer, Elizabeth Calciano, that he had second thoughts about publishing an edited transcript (which had been the understanding at the start of the interview project) and that he preferred instead that people listen to the tape-recordings. The release of the infamous Watergate tapes influenced his decision; he believed at the time that a written transcript would not accurately convey the content or tone of his spoken interviews and wanted no ambiguity in his recollections. The concluding chapter of this volume (Smith’s Second Thoughts about this Oral History”) contains his reasons for this change of heart. Calciano told Smith that she would put the transcript away and hoped that he would reconsider releasing the manuscript at a later date. In 1987 I met with Smith at his home in Bonny Doon, gave him an edited transcript and requested that he read it over, make corrections, and consider releasing the printed text. I heard nothing from him but assumed that someday the manuscript would be published. Smith died in Santa Cruz on August 28, 1995, of leukemia. In November, 1995, I wrote Smith’s daughter, Anne Easley, and explained the circumstances surrounding the oral history. I gave her a copy of her father’s transcript, asked if she could find the manuscript I’d given him, and requested that she consider with her family the possibility of publishing the volume.

  • A Moral Equivalent of War Page 1 of 12
    2010-Lee: A Moral Equivalent of War page 1 of 12 A Moral Equivalent of War Paul Lee Over one hundred years ago, William James delivered a lecture at Stanford University where he was a visiting professor. Not exactly a fish out of water he did not have a high opinion of his peers. This is what he says in a letter to a friend: The drawback is, of course, the great surrounding human vacuum—the historic silence fairly rings in your ears when you listen—and the social insipidity.1 Stanford was not the Harvard of the West as far as he was concerned. The lecture should have been given at Harvard as it was one of the most famous James ever gave. The lecture came to be known as “The Moral Equivalent of War” when it was published in l910. In l906, the title was: “The Psychology of the War Spirit.” An earlier version was given at the Thirteenth Universal Peace Congress in l904.2 An accompanying talk was entitled: “The Energies of Man.” What is remarkable about the talks and the texts is their defining one of the central themes for the century and not only a theme, but a task and a challenge. It is not surprising that the address was delivered around the time of an earthquake, the famous San Francisco earthquake, to underline the point that ideas have consequences. The earthquake hit Stanford, as well, and almost shook James out of bed. He is thought to have said: “Let ‘er rip!” That’s how I first heard it, but, according to his letters, he said, “Now, go it!”3 It was a very idiosyncratic Yankee response, reminiscent of his appraisal of the Grand Canyon: “equal to the brag.” I especially like that one.

This book contains 25 studies by distinguished historians which reinterpret various periods of United States history and related topics. The first section, along with an introduction, describes the state of American history. Part two, presenting five chapters on the topic of race and nationality in American history, covers native, Afro, European, Mexican, and Asian Americans. The third section, on perspectives in the study of American history, includes the topics of women, the American city, war, and intellectual history. In the last section, a substantial part of the book concerned with the reappraisal of the American past, fifteen chapters reinterpret United States history chronologically from the colonial period to 1970.
