Abstract:
|
This paper traces the republican thought of Henry Adams through the historical theorizing of his later years. It focuses on his commitment to the university education of the governing elite, the centrality of the study of history to this education, the need for a newly and fully theorized science of history, Adams's failure to produce such a theory in his later works, and the implications of that failure for republicanism. |

After his comprehensive review of Henry's political and intellectual career James Young has concluded that the civic republican thesis "is the most successful attempt to date to place |

The inevitable isolation and disillusionment of a really strong mind---one that combines force with elevation---is to me the romance and tragedy of statesmanship.
