Thomas Jefferson and the Education of a Citizen

Book Overview

Thomas Jefferson's writings hold endless fascination for Americans and, as the international perspective ending this volume suggests, for thoughtful people worldwide. Here, Liu Zuochang's assessment of Jefferson's relevance to contemporary Chinese thinkers joins essays by American scholars on topics such as education, slavery, and the preparation for citizenship that underlies a free society as Jefferson perceived it.
