SUMMARY:Ron Miller - “A New Nation\, Conceived in Liberty…”: Enlightenment Idealism and the Reality of the Modern World
DESCRIPTION:Part one of “250 Years: Looking Back & Looking Ahead\,” a four-part lecture series at Norman Williams Public Library\, co-hosted by Woodstock History Center in collaboration with the Vermont Humanities Council. Free and open to all; first-come\, first-seated. \n\n\n\n+++ \n\n\n\nThe United States is a paradoxical nation\, established in a burst of idealism that has inspired generations of Americans\, yet weighed down by oppressive cultural legacies that stubbornly persist. In 1776\, giving voice to Enlightenment faith in reason\, progress and the “rights of man\,” Thomas Paine asserted\, “We have it in our power to begin the world over again\,” and the Declaration of Independence seemed to represent a fresh start for humanity. But old prejudices\, old power structures\, and old flaws of human nature remained unvanquished\, and up to our own time they have effectively limited the revolutionary potential of the Declaration. The struggles of the past twelve score and ten years suggest that the power of Enlightenment idealism is considerably more modest than Paine\, Jefferson\, and their fellow revolutionaries wanted to believe. \n\n\n\nRon Miller of South Burlington has been an educational scholar and activist\, teacher\, publisher and bookseller\, community leader and philanthropist. He received a Ph.D. from Boston University in American Studies. He has authored several books\, and has founded\, published\, or edited several magazines. He has taught at Goddard College and Champlain College\, and helped establish the Bellwether School in Williston. From 2014 to 2021 he ran the Learning Lab in Woodstock\, where he taught American history and other topics. He is past president of the Norman Williams Public Library and has served on several other nonprofit boards.
