Midwest Book Review
One of the most hotly debated characters in early American history, Thomas Jefferson stands as an enigma representing different and often contradictory ideas. Norman Risjord's brief biography answers many of the apparent contradictions in Jefferson's fruitful life. Specifically, the author finds continuity in Jefferson's evolving philosophy of political economy. Because Jefferson was not a man intellectually tied to a single ideology, he was able to embrace competing "persuasions" that seem to us incompatible. The author shows how Jefferson's rhetoric was more a matter of time and circumstance than an element of absolute belief, and demonstrates that Jefferson was not only a facile thinker, but also a consummate politician.
Product Description
Perhaps the most hotly debated character in American history, Jefferson stands as an enigma representing different and often contradictory ideas. This concise biography answers many of the contradictions of Jefferson's fruitful life. Specifically, it finds continuity in his evolving philosophy of political economy. Because Jefferson was not a man intellectually tied to a single ideology, he was able to embrace competing persuasions that seem to us incompatible today. Indeed, Jefferson's rhetoric was more a matter of time and circumstance than an element of absolute belief. The Jefferson that emerges is not only a facile thinker but also a consummate politician.
