The Intellectual Origins of Jeffersonian Democracy, available for
the first time in this Lexington Books edition, is Douglass Adair's
first major work of historical inquiry. Adair was a mentor to many
of the nation's leading scholars and has long been admired for his
original and profound observations about the founding of the
American republic. Written in 1943, The Intellectual Origins of
Jeffersonian Democracy has been praised widely as the seminal
analysis of the origins of American democracy. The passage of time
has not dulled Adair's arguments; instead, his critique of economic
determinism, his emphasis on the influence of ideology on the
Founders, and his belief in the importance of civic virtue and
morality to good republican government have become ever more
critical to our conception of American history. With judicious
prose and elegant insights, Adair explores the classical and modern
European heritage of liberalism, and he raises fundamental
questions about the nature of democratic government. This book is
for any serious reader interested in American intellectual history,
political thought, and the founding of the republic.
