This course examines American culture in the context of the
growth of a heterogenous, industrialized society. The ideas
of major intellectuals will be considered in relation to
developments in the arts and the social sciences and to
changing conceptions of the relationship of the individual
to society and to the state. Particular attention will be
devoted to cultural manifestations of major intellectual
trends.
