Lauded as the most articulate voice of American freedom, even as he held people in bondage, Jefferson is variably described by current-day observers as a hypocrite, an atheist, and a simple-minded proponent of limited government. The authors team up to present an absorbing and revealing character study that finally clarifies the philosophy of Thomas Jefferson. Tracing Jefferson's development and maturation from his youth to his old age, the authors explore what they call the "empire" of Jefferson's imagination--his expansive state of mind born of the intellectual influences and life experiences that led him into public life as a modern avatar of the enlightenment, who often likened himself to an ancient figure--"the most blessed of the patriarchs." 600 10 Jefferson, Thomas,|d1743-1826|xPhiliosophy. 600 10 Jefferson, Thomas,|d1743-1826|xPolitical and social views. 655 7 Audiobooks.|2lcgft 700 1 Onuf, Peter S. 700 1 Chilton, Karen.|4nrt 710 2 Recorded Books, Inc. 914 MID.b24778254 994 92|bCKE
