By closely examining the central ideas of these men, Professor Noble presents an illuminating view of a significant phase of the liberal tradition in America. At the same time, he questions many of the generally accepted views about the philosophical basis of traditional liberalism and demonstrates the paradox of progressive thought.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe social philosophers whose writings and teachings he scrutinizes are Herbert Croly, long-time editor of the \u003ci\u003eNew Republic;\u003c\/i\u003e James Mark Baldwin, psychologist and philosopher; Charles H. Cooley, author of \u003ci\u003eSocial Organization;\u003c\/i\u003e F. H.

Ely, economist and early advocate of Christian socialism; Simon N. Patten, whose work \u003ci\u003eThe Premises of Political Economy\u003c\/i\u003e lifted him to fame; Thorstein Veblen, whose \u003ci\u003eTheory of the Leisure Class\u003c\/i\u003e is a household word today; and Walter Rauschenbusch, the Baptist clergyman who wrote \u003ci\u003eChristianity and the Social Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eChristianity and the Social Order\u003c\/i\u003e.
