330 .. $a "Could Jefferson claim any consistency in his advocacy of democracy and the rights
of man while remaining one of the largest slaveholders in Virginia? This extensive
study of Jefferson's intellectual outlook suggests that, once we fully acknowledge
the premises of his ethical thought and his now outdated scientific views, he could.
Jefferson famously thought the human mind to be 'susceptible of much improvement ...
most of all, in matters of government and religion.' Ari Helo's thorough analysis
of Jefferson's understanding of Christian morality, atheism, contemporary theories
of moral sentiments, ancient virtue ethics, natural rights, and the principles of
justice and benevolence suggests that Jefferson refused to be a philosopher, and did
so for moral reasons. This book finds Jefferson profoundly political in his understanding
of individual moral responsibility and human progress."--Publisher's Web site
