This definitive collection, back in print at last, includes such noted essays as \"The War and the Intellectuals,\" \"The Fragment of the State,\" \"The Development of Public Opinion,\" and \"John Dewey's Philosophy.\" Bourne's critique of militarism and advocacy of cultural pluralism are enduring contributions to social and political thought, sure to have an equally strong impact in our own time. In their introduction and preface, Olaf Hansen and Christopher Lasch provide biographical and historical context for Bourne's work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRandolph Bourne\u003c\/b\u003e (1886-1918) studied with Charles Beard and John Dewey at Columbia University.
