The Spirit of Modern Republicanism sets forth a radical
reinterpretation of the foundations on which the American regime
was constructed. Thomas L. Pangle argues that the Founders had a
dramatically new vision of civic virtue, religious faith, and
intellectual life, rooted in an unprecedented commitment to private
and economic liberties. It is in the thought of John Locke that
Pangle finds the fullest elaboration of the principles supporting
the Founders' moral vision.
A work of extraordinary ambition, written with great intensity. . .
. Pangle offers] a trenchant analysis of Locke's writings, designed
to demonstrate their remarkable originality and to clarify by doing
so as much as the objective predicament as the conscious intentions
of the Founding Fathers themselves.--John Dunn, Times Higher
Education Supplement
A forcefully argued study of the Founding Fathers' debt to Locke. .
. . What distinguishes Pangle's study from the dozens of books
which have challenged or elaborated upon the republican revision is
the sharpness with which he exposes the errors of the revisionists
while at the same time leaving something of substantive value for
the reader to consider.--Joyce Appleby, Canadian Journal of History
Breathtaking in its daring and novelty. . . . Pangle's book is
tense and tenacious, a stunning meditation on America's political
culture.--John Patrick Diggins, Transactions of the C. S. Peirce
