关于作者

James Harvey Robinson (1863–1936) was an American historian, who played an instrumental role in the development of new history education methodologies, moving away from rote memorization and towards an emphasis on social and intellectual history. As a professor at Columbia University, he sought to make history more accessible and engaging to the general public. His innovative approach is exemplified in his seminal work, ‘The Mind in the Making: The Relation of Intelligence to Social Reform’ (1921), where he discusses the importance of rational and critical thinking in solving social problems. This book reflects his belief that the study of history could illuminate the present and guide future progress. Robinson vehemently supported the idea that an informed citizenship is fundamental for effective democracy and social reform. His literary style is characterized by a strong narrative that makes scholarly concepts approachable to a broader audience. In recognition of his contributions, Robinson was one of the founders of the New School for Social Research, an institution dedicated to academic freedom and intellectual inquiry. His legacy continues to influence the field of history and the philosophy of education, promoting the idea that a well-informed society is vital for both individual and communal growth.
