In the 19th century, social changes and advances in evolutionary theory and thermodynamics forged a transformation in the gaze. Tension and struggle become key concepts with which different aspects of the human being and society are interpreted. In the United States this had its own characteristics. The objective of this paper is to show the different consequences that the displacement of such theories and concepts brought by tracing a guiding principle to reveal its influence on culture and therefore on the idea of human being. Particularly in the fields of politics, economics, neurology, literature, psychology and philosophy.

Palabras clave : Evolutionism; Thermodynamics; Naturalism; Strenuous Mood; William James.
