Richard Hofstadter was an American historian and intellectual prominent in the mid-20th century. He served as a professor of history at Columbia University and transitioned from a radical leftist perspective to a consensus view during the 1950s, becoming a symbol of liberal consensus historiography after World War II. Hofstadter focused on political culture rather than the minutiae of daily politics, making a lasting impact with works like 'Social Darwinism in American Thought'. He received the Pulitzer Prize twice for his contributions to historical analysis and critique of both socialist and capitalist models of society.
