Max Lerner on American social thought and Russian space edge
Max Lerner argues that despite Soviet space advances, American social thought has undergone four great periods of creativity led by Madison, Dewey, Mead, and others. He cites global readers, notes hunger for deeper ethics, and contrasts American intellectual vitality with dreary Russian official culture. He praises cross national interest and warns against belittling American achievements.
