philosophical tract on human nature, government's role in society, and the meaning of
individual liberty. Generations of scholars have debated the intellectual origins of
Jefferson's Declaration. The controversy has been based, in large part, on speculation,
since research of Jefferson's intellectual development before 1776 is nearly impossible. In
1770, when he was twenty-seven, Jefferson's library and most of his early papers were
destroyed in the fire that consumed his mother's plantation home. For this reason the
historiography on the Declaration of Independence must be widened beyond Jefferson's
development, and should include works that attempt to elucidate the general intellectual
climate in which Jefferson wrote. This approach does not make scholarly work on the
Declaration less significant, since Jefferson, himself, wrote that the Declaration was
"intended to be an expression of the American mind." In this light, the Declaration has
been seen as a proclamation of Lockean individualism, of French or Scottish
Enlightenment philosophy, of the eighteenth century verve for natural science, and of
European or British versions of classical republicanism.]]> http://pdfcast.org/pdf/thomas-jefferson-the-declaration-of-independence-and-revolutionary-ideology Sun, 16 Aug 2009 12:41:19 -0400 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/thomas-jefferson-the-declaration-of-independence-and-revolutionary-ideology Biography & Autobiography perhaps his greatest renown as a political theorist and spokesman for democracy.
