The Young radicals was a 1920's group of pragmatic naturalists from Columbia University or City College and were by and large devotees of John Dewey and Morris Cohen and often admirers of Walter Lippmann, Herbert Croly, The New Republic, and The Nation. Most would deny a Supreme Being yet affirm the power of faith and human reason. They set out to create new intellectual guideposts based on their belief in the power of faith and human reason for science, law, history, economics, and even religion. Among them were E.A. Burtt, John Herman Randall, Randolph Bourne (died 1919), James Gutmann, Harry Elmer Barnes, Sidney Hook, and Ernst Nagel 1 2
