America is often described as a nation of doers. Its folk heroes are men and women of action, like Daniel Boone and Annie Oakley, who subdued an untamed wilderness on the way to forging a great nation. But is that the whole story? Is American history really just a tale of dynamic movers and shakers who left philosophizing to their European counterparts? In Cycles of American Political Thought, you’ll examine the often neglected philosophical underpinnings of this nation’s history. With renowned political scientist Professor Joseph F. Kobylka as your guide, you’ll explore how this nation of "doers" has, from its birth, been deeply engaged with the most fundamental questions of political philosophy. Over the course of 36 engaging lectures, Professor Kobylka weaves a tale of nation-founding and nation-building. You’ll learn how, from its earliest days, the nation has borne the imprint of influential thinkers from the European continent, from the Reformation theology of John Calvin to the Enlightenment philosophy of John Locke. You’ll examine how these ideas have influenced the greatest Americans as, over the centuries, the nation has cycled between variants of a single revolutionary political theory. But America’s story is not simply one of ideas. From the Civil War to the civil rights movement, the Industrial Revolution to the Great Depression, Professor Kobylka’s analysis shows how the actions and events of history have both affected and been influenced by underlying political philosophies. ============= 1.
