• W74278869 abstract "In Problem of Babbitt's Thought, (1) his scholarly rejoinder to my Irving Babbitt on and Unionism, (2) Richard Gamble argues that Babbitt wrong to uphold an exemplary figure best American tradition. In my view, on contrary, Babbitt justified taking as an upholder of our great tradition, and followers of Babbitt today are right to claim as an invaluable ally their efforts to reconstitute American and society. Gamble, on other hand, advises participants any Babbitt-inspired effort to rebuild American culture to reject heritage of Lincoln. Despite these fundamental differences, there are several points on which Richard Gamble and I can agree. Both of us find that Babbitt's conception of is not always accurate. We both note that Lincoln's admiration for Jefferson and Declaration of independence seems at odds with Babbitt's own conception of unionist tradition--which Babbitt defined large part by contrast to Jeffersonian impulse. Gamble suggests that Progressive cult of led to a Lincoln presenting sixteenth president as ideal of humanitarian crusader. Like Gamble and Babbitt himself, I think that Progressives distorted historical to serve their own political my view, however, a careful study of words and deeds of reconfirms Lincoln's moral and intellectual stature and validates Babbitt's view of as an exemplar of tradition of sane moral realism. Gamble, on other hand, believes that historical record reveals an unprin cipled seeker of power, a Lincoln advocating all sorts of innovations and irregularities if it suited his purposes. Whether former or latter will continue to be debated by conservatives, neo-conservatives, libertarians, and liberals ... as long as they have life and breath, as Gamble says about a related matter. There is no space here to debate historical record; I will note only that James G. Randall, historian whom Gamble cites for evidence of Lincoln's transgressions, drew a different conclusion from same evidence--as Gamble himself acknowledges with true scholarly integrity. The following observations are not intended to settle issues between us but to provide some perspective on their significance. Richard Gamble demonstrates persuasively that made into a patron saint by Progressives in decades surrounding First World War. Even while conceding and even emphasizing that Progressive version of clearly a myth at odds with historical Lincoln, Gamble warns that Lincoln's popularity among the very people Babbitt most despised poses a difficulty for students of Babbitt. Fair enough. In decades since Progressive Era, however, it has been conservatives who have defended most often and most effectively, while attacks on have emanated most frequently from leftists attempting to justify their radicalism by denigrating and thus United States. Gamble thus finds himself with some strange allies. His comparison of to Bismarck and Mazzini, for example, anticipated by Edmund Wilson, a great literary critic but a man capable of monumentally flawed political judgments (for example, he urged voting for Communist ticket 193 2). In preface to Patriotic Gore, his great work on literature of Civil War, Wilson argues that Lincoln's determination to preserve union had no moral basis but was simply form that power drive now took (3) and goes on to associate with Bismarck and then Lenin on much same grounds that Gamble uses to compare to Bismarck and Mazzini. Gamble argues that his trio were leaders of successful wars of national consolidation, while Wilson observes that Lincoln, Bismarck and Lenin presided over unifications of three great new modem powers. …" @default.
