Jefferson lived through world-altering upheavals in his lifetime. Not only was he one of the most important founding fathers…he also served his new nation as one of the most influential precepts of civic responsibility in a democracy. All of this came at a time of three converging revolutions in history: the democratic revolution in America and France, the Scientific Revolution, and the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Chelsey manages to trace the living fabric of Jefferson's ideas through these turbulent changes and how Jefferson modified, refined, and increasingly radicalized them in a coherent and systematic way.
