	Forgotten Prophet The Life of Randolph Bourne Bruce Clayton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Disfigured and hunchbacked, Bourne reacted to his disability not with bitterness or self-pity, but rather with an exuberant love for beauty and a compassion for humanity that created in him a longing for a truly cosmopolitan society—a "trans-national America" that would draw its strength from ethnic diversity and political pluralism.
		Although derided and largely ignored at the time they were written, Bourne's fearful predictions would all too quickly be confirmed in the dissolute frenzy of the jazz age, the turmoil of the 1930s, and the social chaos that brought about the rise of fascism in Europe and, soon, an even more destructive war.
		Forgotten Prophet characterizes Bourne not just as a foreseer of this century's bloodshed but, equally important, as an apostle of hope—a champion of what was best, most truthful in the arts, in politics, and in the conduct of our daily lives.

	Bourne Yet Again: Errors of Genealogy
		Bourne's vision of aesthetic fulfillment and cultural liberation, his celebration of the restless, idiosyncratic "malcontent," his joining of art to values and politics to culture -- in sum the vibrant spirit of Bourne's project -- was always of equal allure to his anti-war stance.
		Bourne did not, as dictated by the "politics of non-identity," object to partisanship on behalf of revolutionary organization, as may be seen in his essay "What is Exploitation?" (1916), one of several places where he defended wholeheartedly the revolutionary union movement, the Industrial Workers of the World.
		Bourne's agony over Dewey's endorsement of the war had nothing to do with "party affiliation." Bourne was simply stunned that his mentor would support a destructive war serving the interests of capital, empire, and reaction.

	Heath Anthology of American LiteratureRandolph Bourne - Author Page
		Randolph Bourne was one of the most intellectual voices of his generation, a social critic of considerable acuity and an analyst of American national life and culture without peer in the first two decades of the twentieth century.
		Bourne’s polemical skills stood out in sharp relief during this episode, as essays like “Twilight of Idols” (1917) exposed the weak logic of those who had to change their principles in order to justify joining the national call to arms.
		Bourne envisioned a nation of immigrants who could “retain that distinctiveness of their native cultures” and hence be “more valuable and interesting to each other for being different.” This visionary state he called by various terms, such as a “Beloved Community,” marked by a cosmopolitanism that embraced various cultural points of view.

	War is the Health of the State: Its Meaning
		Bourne argues that, in times of peace, the majority of people do not give much thought to the State, but deal instead with the Government, which may be viewed as the practical day-to-day "offices and functions" of a State.
		The thrust of Bourne's essays is to attack the sanctity of war by showing how it leads to the moral collapse of society by kicking out the props (the principles) of peaceful interaction upon which society rests.
		In essence, Bourne addressed the moral consequences of war upon a post-war society which had abandoned individualism in favor of "the herd-machinery." He eloquently argued that post-war America would be morally, intellectually, and psychologically impoverished.

	Randolph Bourne (1886-1918)
		Bourne was of course conscious of the immigration that was reshaping American society (especially in its large cities), and he was very aware of the social and political changes being brought about by modernization (such as the routinization of work, the development of the "culture industry" and mass media, urbanization, and so on).
		Bourne's essay challenges and responds to, even at a distance, the same moods and arguments that animated romantic nationalism of the sort that had recently shaped Italy and Germany, among others, into nation-states.
		Bourne used the essay as his main form of artistic expression.

	Randolph Bourne and the Politics of Cultural Radicalism
		Bourne is also recognized as one of the founders of American cultural radicalism, revered in turn by Marxists, anti-fascists, and the New Left.
		In her new study of Bourne's political thought, Leslie Vaughan maintains that this position was not, as others have contended, a retreat from politics but rather a different form of political engagement, freed from the suppositions that impede genuine debate and democratic change.
		Eighty years later, Bourne can be seen to stand at the cusp of the modern and the post-modern worlds, as he speaks to today's multiculturalist movement.

	War Is the Health of the State (Randolph Bourne)
		Bourne’s distinctions between State and Government and between State and Nation are sometimes a little too neat, and his stress on the State’s intimate connection with war tends to obscure its more “normal” ongoing role as enforcer of the economic system during peacetime.
		Though Bourne sympathized with the IWW and the more radical socialist currents of his day, his social perspective seems to have been along the more eclectic liberal-humanistic lines of later figures such as Lewis Mumford.
		Another online Bourne article, The War and the Intellectuals (1917), examines the virtually unanimous capitulation of even the most progressive”; American intellectuals to support of American’s entry into World War I. Bourne was one of the few honorable exceptions.

	Establishment Liberalism, the War Urge and the Hunched Figure of Randolph Bourne by Stephen Bender
		Randolph Bourne, the early-20th Century dissident liberal turned radical who coined the phrase "war is the health of the state," well explained the pragmatic dynamics of establishment liberalism's support for war.
		And if their motive was to shape the war firmly for good, they seem to have seriously miscalculated the fierce urgencies of it." In his essay "A War Diary" Bourne anticipated the trajectory of second thoughts, so familiar among liberals from the Vietnam era, so forgotten in their middle age...
		In a bit of prosaic fancifulness, Bourne perfumed the degree to which the public is carried along on the swells of war.

		He was a giant of his age and the Bourne story cannot be told without understanding him and his generation of intellectuals.
		One notable and essential part of Bourne’s literary identity is the wide circumference of his interests, the mobility of his curiosity as he moved from subject to subject, his almost prophetic (the word has been used) ability to grasp some sense of what will be important in the future.
