Description: This lecture by Professor Curti is both an account of his approach to history from the point of view of the humanities and a description of the field of American intellectual history, in the development of which he has played an important role. Tracing his own involvement with the history of American thought to his early interest in American literature, Professor Curti describes how in the 1920's, he developed courses devoted to American intellectual history that were among the first of their kind ever offered in this country. In the course of his personal story Professor Curti treats many of the larger problems of the nature and content of intellectual history. His account of his own research and thinking in the field, which culminated in his influential book, "The Growth of American Thought," constitutes an introduction and description of American intellectual history as a field of study. Defining his own approach to the subject as empirical, Professor Curti analyzes the history of American ideas in terms of the concepts of nationalism and democracy, both of which he thinks are fundamental to our country's intellectual development. This in turn permits him to dwell at length on what he has concluded are the main characteristics of American thought. Reflecting on the influence that his work has had, and the criticism it called forth, Professor Curti concludes that American intellectual history is still a new and exciting field that offers great opportunity and reward.
