Arthur L. Herman (born 1956) is an American popular historian . He is a senior fellow at Hudson Institute .[1]
Biography
[ edit ]
Born in a Jewish family, Herman's father Arthur L. Herman, a scholar of Sanskrit , was a professor of philosophy at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point .
Herman received his B.A. from the University of Minnesota and M.A. and Ph.D. in history from Johns Hopkins University . He spent a semester abroad at The University of Edinburgh in Scotland .[1] His 1984 dissertation research dealt with the political thought of early-17th-century French Huguenots.[2]
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Herman taught at Sewanee: The University of the South , George Mason University , Georgetown and The Catholic University of America . He was the founder and coordinator of the Western Heritage Program in the Smithsonian's Campus on the Mall lecture series.[3] [4]
His 2001 book on the Scottish Enlightenment , How the Scots Invented the Modern World , was a New York Times bestseller.
In 2008, he added to his body of work Gandhi and Churchill: The Epic Rivalry that Destroyed an Empire and Forged Our Age , a finalist for the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction.[5]
In 1987, Herman married Beth Marla Warshofsky.[6] He lives in Washington, D.C. [7]
Views
[ edit ]
Herman generally employs the Great Man perspective in his work, which is 19th-century historical methodology attributing human events and their outcomes to the singular efforts of great men that has been refined and qualified by such modern thinkers as Sidney Hook .
He did not join the ranks of the so-called declinists after examining the works of Friedrich Nietzsche , Michel Foucault , Henry Adams , Brooks Adams , Oswald Spengler , and Arnold Toynbee , who expressed pessimism about the fate of the West, and remains cautiously optimistic about the future of the Western civilization.[8] [9]
He argues that after passing through the critical era of rapid geopolitical changes in the 20th century driven by an "ideological fervor to transform humanity and create a more perfect world order", the world finally entered in the 21st century into an era of relative stability "defined by the balance-of-power geopolitics."[10]
Herman advocates embracing the U.S. history in its entirety, including the American Civil War , rather than sanitizing it after the fact: "America is a country where the process of conflict and reconciliation, combined with the passage of time, brings out and embeds the qualities that make the United States one people and one community."[11]
