Multiple Choice

The great migration of European intellectuals to the United States in the second quarter of the twentieth century prompted a transformation in the character of Western social thought. The influx of Continental thinkers fleeing fascist regimes had a great impact on American academic circles, leading to new developments in such diverse fields as linguistics and theology. But the greatest impact was on the emigrés themselves. This “migration experience” led expatriates to reexamine the supposedly self-evident premises inherited from the Continental intellectual tradition. The result, according to H. Stuart Hughes in The Sea-Change, was an increased sophistication and deprovincialization in social theory.

One problem facing newly arrived emigrés in the U.S. was the spirit of anti-intellectualism in much of the country. The empirical orientation of American academic circles, moreover, led to the conscious tempering by many European thinkers of their own tendencies toward speculative idealism. In addition, reports of oppression in Europe shook many Old World intellectuals from a stance of moral isolation. Many great European social theorists had regarded their work as separate from all moral considerations. The migration experience proved to many intellectuals of the following generations that such notions of moral seclusion were unrealistic, even irresponsible.

This transformation of social thought is perhaps best exemplified in the career of the German theologian Paul Tillich. Migration confronted Tillich with an ideological as well as a cultural dichotomy. Hughes points out that Tillich’s thought was “suspended between philosophy and theology, Marxism and political conformity, theism and disbelief.” Comparable to the fusion by other expatriate intellectuals of their own idealist traditions with the Anglo-American empiricist tradition was Tillich’s synthesis of German Romantic religiosity with the existentialism born of the twentieth-century war experience. Tillich’s basic goal, according to Hughes, was to move secular individuals by making religious symbols more accessible to them. Forced to make his ethical orientation explicit in the context of American attitudes, Tillich avoided the esoteric academic posture of many Old World scholars, and was able to find a wide and sympathetic audience for his sometimes difficult theology. In this way, his experience in America, in his own words, “deprovincialized” his thought.

The author’s main concern in the passage is to

• characterize the effects of migration on U.S. history

• show how Paul Tillich’s career was representative of the migration experience

• discuss the effects of the great migration on modern social thought

• reveal the increased sophistication of post-migration thought

• contrast European social thought with that of the United States
