In complicated and confounding times, people look for the principles that drive action and the foundations that support national ideals. American Labyrinth demonstates the power of intellectual history to illuminate our public life and examine our ideological assumptions.This volume of essays brings together 19 influential intellectual historians to contribute original thoughts on topics of widespread interest. Raymond Haberski Jr. and Andrew Hartman asked a group of nimble, sharp scholars to respond to a simple question: How might the resources of intellectual history help shed light on contemporary issues with historical resonance? The answers-all rigorous, original, and challenging-are as eclectic in approach and temperament as the authors are different in their interests and methods. Taken together, the essays of American Labyrinth illustrate how intellectual historians, operating in many different registers at once and ranging from the theoretical to the political, can provide telling insights for understanding a public sphere fraught with conflict.In order to understand why people are ready to fight over cultural symbols and political positions we must have insight into how ideas organize, enliven, and define our lives. Ultimately, as Haberski and Hartman show in this volume, the best route through our contemporary American labyrinth is the path that traces our practical and lived ideas. 606 $3(DE-601)104461225$3(DE-588)4274490-8$aGeistesleben$2gnd 606 $3(DE-601)104564326$3(DE-588)4020531-9$aGeschichtsschreibung$2gnd 606 $aHISTORY / United States / General$2bisacsh 607 $aUnited States$xHistoriography 607 $aUnited States$xIntellectual life 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aGeistesleben 615 7$aGeschichtsschreibung 615 7$aHISTORY / United States / General. 676 $a973 702 $aHaberski$b Raymond J.$f1968- 702 $aHartman$b Andrew 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466619903321 996 $aAmerican labyrinth$92474575 997 $aUNINA
