   Extractions: Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help (b. Sept. 7, 1873, near Waterloo, Iowa, U.S.d. April 10, 1945, Ithaca, N.Y.), American historian known for his work on early American intellectual history and on the 18th-century Enlightenment. Becker studied at the University of Wisconsin (B.A., 1896; Ph.D., 1907) and Columbia University. He taught at the University of Kansas, Lawrence, from 1902 to 1916 and at Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., from 1917 until he retired in 1941. In The Beginnings of the American People (1915), he elaborated on his doctoral work by advancing the thesis of a dual American Revolutionthe first being the struggle for self-government and the second the ideological battle over the form such government should take. In The Eve of the Revolution (1918) and The Declaration of Independence (1922), he further probed the relationship between 18th-century natural-rights philosophy and the American Revolution. The interwar period was a time of dejection and increasing philosophical skepticism for Becker. During the 1920s, particularly, he began challenging the then-orthodox assumption of the superiority of a scientific methodology in historical study. He maintained that perceived "facts" are basically mental images created by the historian's experience and a larger, socially defined reality that determines the process by which the historian selects his data. His presidential address in 1931 to the American Historical Association, "Everyman His Own Historian" (published in 1932 and expanded to book length in 1935), deals most explicitly with this theme of historical relativism. In one of his best-known books

On 4 May 1626, officials of the Dutch West India Company in New Netherland founded New Amsterdam, which subsequently became New York City. The English captured the colony in 1664, though a complete ousting of Dutch rule did not occur until 10 November 1674. Dutch residents received generous terms of surrender. Religious toleration and the verification of property rights assured that most stayed when the colony became the province of New York. Charles II gave the colony as a proprietorship to his brother James, duke of York, upon the English claim on 12 March1664. Only when its proprietor became King James II on 6 February 1685 did New York become a royal colony. Settlement during the colonial era was confined to the Hudson Valley, Long Island, and the eastern one hundred miles of the Mohawk River. Ethnic and Religious Heterogeneity The diverse colony was almost 50 percent Dutch but also included English, various European nationalities, African slaves, and freedmen. By the mid-eighteenth century, New York held the highest slave population of all the northern colonies, at 7 to 10 percent of the population. With the religious toleration after the

He was born in Waterloo Black Hawk County, Iowa . He studied at the University of Wisconsin–Madison Frederick Jackson Turner was his doctoral advisor there. Becker got his Ph.D. in 1907. He was John Wendell Anderson Professor of History in the Department of History at Cornell University from 1917 to 1941. Cornell has recognized his work as an educator by naming one of its five new residential colleges the Carl Becker House He is best known for The Heavenly City of the Eighteenth-Century Philosophers (1932), four lectures on The Enlightenment delivered at Yale University . His assertion—that philosophies in the " Age of Reason " relied far more upon Christian assumptions than they cared to admit—has been influential, but has also been much attacked. Interest in the book is partly explained by this passage (p. 47): In the thirteenth century the key words would no doubt be God, sin, grace, salvation, heaven and the like; in the nineteenth century, matter, fact, matter-of-fact, evolution, progress; in the twentieth century, relativity, process, adjustment, function, complex. In the eighteenth century the words without which no enlightened person could reach a restful conclusion were nature, natural law, first cause, reason, sentiment, humanity, perfectibility […].

SUMMARY Here a distinguished American historian challenges the belief that the eighteenth century was essentially modern in its temper. In crystalline prose Carl Becker demonstrates that the period commonly described as the Age of Reason was, in fact, very far from that; that Voltaire, Hume, Diderot, and Locke were living in a medieval world, and that these philosophers "demolished the Heavenly City of St. Augustine only to rebuild it with more up-to-date materials." In a new foreword, Johnson Kent Wright looks at the book's continuing relevance within the context of current discussion about the Enlightenment.
