DescriptionChurchill and Roosevelt, Einstein and Picasso, Stalin and Hitler: the great majority of the 20th century's movers and shakers were actually products of the 19th. Professor Craig discusses how all of these men were deeply influenced by the ideals and failures of 19th-century liberalism. He explains the hallmarks of this school of thought, including humanitarianism, individualism, materialism, and the belief in freedom, progress, and the perfectability of mankind.
