(This is the first comprehensive study to take Thomas Jeff...)
This is the first comprehensive study to take Thomas Jefferson completely at his word -- his favorite word. Nature -- the term & the many ideas associated with it -- pervades Jefferson's life & writings. It sets him apart from his colleagues in the American Enlightenment & provides the distinctive gateway to his thought & action. By no means consistent & at times apparently opportunistic in his use of the term, Jefferson nevertheless draws nearly every realm of life back to this essential word & idea. This book tells why this is so. Exceptionally clear, thoughtful, & accessible to specialists & non-specialists alike, this study is a fascinating introduction into major scientific debates of the late 18th & early 19th century. Illustrated.
