On the philosophical foundations of the Progressive movement in the United States

I ran across this article in the National Review today.


The author contrasts the theory of natural rights and limited government that underlay the foundations of the United States' political system with the philosophies and theories which animated the people who lay the foundations of the Progressive movement during the 1890's.

More on my view of where these two philosophical systems coincide and deviate from a Christian worldview in a future post.
