Could a self-proclaimed man of learning and progressive science also have been an agent of monarchy and reaction? Cadwallader Colden (1688-1776), an educated Scottish emigrant and powerful colonial politician, was at the forefront of American intellectual culture in the mid-eighteenth century. While living in rural New York, he recruited family, friends, servants, and slaves into multiple scientific ventures and built a transatlantic network of contacts and correspondents that included Benjamin Franklin and Carl Linnaeus. Over several decades, Colden pioneered colonial botany, produced new theories of animal and human physiology, authored an influential history of the Iroquois, and developed bold new principles of physics and an engaging explanation of the cause of gravity.The Enlightenment of Cadwallader Colden traces the life and ideas of this fascinating and controversial "gentleman-scholar." John M. Dixon's lively and accessible account explores the overlapping ideological, social, and political worlds of this earliest of New York intellectuals. Colden and other learned colonials used intellectual practices to assert their gentility and establish their social and political superiority, but their elitist claims to cultural authority remained flimsy and open to widespread local derision. Although Colden, who governed New York as an unpopular Crown loyalist during the imperial crises of the 1760s and 1770s, was brutally lampooned by the New York press, his scientific work, which was published in Europe, raised the international profile of American intellectualism. 606 $aHISTORY / United States / Colonial Period (1600-1775)$2bisacsh 607 $aNew York (State)$xPolitics and government$yTo 1775 607 $aNew York (State)$xIntellectual life$y18th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aHISTORY / United States / Colonial Period (1600-1775). 676 $a974.702092 700 $aDixon$b John M.$f1970-$01042419 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466252503321 996 $aThe Enlightenment of Cadwallader Colden$92466632 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02619nam 22005774a 450 001 9910780227603321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a0-8157-9853-9 035 $a(CKB)111087027970400 035 $a(EBL)3004294 035 $a(OCoLC)848189171 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000119316 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11146371 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000119316 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10058043 035 $a(PQKB)10566027 035 $a(OCoLC)704481668 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse73697 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3004294 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10026224 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3004294 035 $a(EXLCZ)99111087027970400 100 $a20010122d2001 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aCentral Asian security$b[electronic resource] $ethe new international context /$fRoy Allison and Lena Jonson, editors 210 $aLondon $cRoyal Institute of International Affairs ;$aWashington, D.C. $cBrookings Institution Press$dc2001 215 $a1 online resource (295 p.) 300 $a"In association with the Swedish Institute of International Affairs." 311 $a0-8157-0105-5 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tCentral Asian security : internal and external dynamics /$rLena Jonson and Roy Allison --$tCentral Asia : common legacies and conflicts /$rMartha Brill Olcott --$tIslam in Central Asia /$rAlexei Malashenko --$tWater in Central Asia : regional cooperation or conflict? /$rStuart Horsman --$tRussia and Central Asia /$rLena Jonson --$tThe United States and Central Asia /$rStephen blank --$tChina and Central Asia /$rGuangcheng Xing --$tRelations to the south : Iran and Afghanistan /$rEdmund Herzig --$tTurkey and Central Asia /$rGareth M.
