Overview

""American Idealism"" is an expansive exploration of the religious and educational development that has shaped the cultural identity of the United States. Tracing the evolution of moral and intellectual life from the early colonial period through the early twentieth century, this work examines how various religious movements and denominations contributed to the ethical framework of the nation. Luther A. Weigle provides a detailed account of the migration of faiths, the establishment of churches, and the influence of spiritual conviction on the American character. Beyond religious history, the work offers a comprehensive look at the rise of the American educational system. It chronicles the transition from private and sectarian instruction to the development of public schools and the growth of higher education. Through an analysis of these two pillars-faith and learning-the book illustrates the enduring spirit of idealism that drove national progress. Focusing on the social and intellectual history of the country, ""American Idealism"" remains a valuable resource for understanding the foundations of American thought and the collective values that have historically defined its institutions.
