Popis: The Education of Henry Adams and The Degradation of the Democratic Dogma reject the anthropocentric view of scientific history and its implied theme of human progress. In Darwin, Haeckel, the Curies, and other scientists Adams found a model for the study of history within the fabric of nature. Adams's “dynamic theory of history” argues for a wholistic view of history and nature.
