As Daniel H. Borus documents the belief that there were many truths, many beauties, and many values--a condition that the historian Henry Adams labeled multiplicity--rather than singular ones prompted new departures in a myriad of discourses and practices ranging from comic strips to politics to sociology. The new emphasis on contingency and context prompted Americans to rethink what counted as truth and beauty, how the self was constituted and societies cohered and functioned. The challenge to absolutes and universals, Borus shows, gave rise to a culture in which standards were not always firm and fixed and previously accepted hierarchies were not always valid. Although itself strenuously challenged, especially during the First World War, early twentieth-century multiplicity bequeathed to American cultural life an abiding sense of the complexity and diversity of things"--Provided by publisher. 000470739 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000470739 650_0 $$aPhilosophy, American$$y20th century. 000470739 650_0 $$aPluralism. 000470739 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xCivilization$$y20th century. 000470739 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBorus, Daniel H.$$tTwentieth-century multiplicity.$$dLanham, Md. : Rowman & Littlefield, c2009$$z9780742515062$$z9780742515079$$w(DLC) 2008027290$$w(OCoLC)233635015 000470739 830_0 $$aAmerican thought and culture. 000470739 8520_ $$bacq 000470739 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000470739 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=466731$$zOnline Access 000470739 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:470739$$pGLOBAL_SET 000470739 980__ $$aEBOOK 000470739 980__ $$aBIB 000470739 982__ $$aEbook 000470739 983__ $$aOnline
