Place of Publication: Princeton:
Date: (1983)
Extent: xii, 438.

Notes: The first volume in the Papers edition's second series, which will include the longer items most amenable to topical rather than chronological arrangement. Included here are a reconstructed version of "The Philosophy of Jesus," a major piece of textual scholarship on the part of Dickinson W. Adams, and TJ's later scissors edit of the Gospels, "The Life and Morals of Jesus." Sheridan's "Introduction" traces the evolution of TJ's religious opinions and examines the three versions he constructed of the life of Jesus, from the "Syllabus" included in the letter of April, 21, 1803, to Benjamin Rush to the final "Life and Morals." Points out the genesis of TJ's beliefs in his early reading of Bolingbroke, the influence of Joseph Priestley, and the effect of his correspondence with Benjamin Rush. Contends that TJ is best understood as a "demythologized Christian," whose rationalism and religiousness have variously been distorted in the accounts of partisans of one position or the other. This essay is probably the best single account of TJ's religious beliefs and will have to be consulted by all future scholars on the subject; the volume also includes a useful appendix of TJ's correspondence pertaining to religion.

Title: "Time and Property in the American Republican Legal Culture."
Publication: New York University Law Review
Volume: 66
Date: (1991)
Extent: 273-352.

Notes: In opposition to Pocock's and Wood's view that a republican view of virtue, porperty, and citizenshipgave way to a liberal view sometime after the Revolution, argues for recognition of a dialectic view, an ongoing conversation about property which contains "antinomic elements." TJ's idea that the earth belongs to the living exemplifies the republican dialectic of time and property by attempting to create a public meaning for property in terms of time. TJ does not, however, address some important questions, eg. the tension bestween republican maintenance of a traditional, virtuous social order and an equally republican emphasis on individuals taking a meaningful role in political life. Also, should power rest in individuals or in a community of shared sentiment and ideas? TJ's though also contains a dialectic between "dynamic" and "static" conceptions of property, between a notion of property as moveable and commodified and one of it as the fee simple property of settled landholders. In addition there is a dialectic between alienable property in land and less tangible commercial property. TJ was anxious not about commerce itself but about its potential to transform the sociology of property, to make it dominate social relations. He never adequately explained how the law of porperty would accomodate these principles of stability and dynamism, nor did his distinction of allodial property make clear a positive meaning beyond its negative meaning established against the concept of feudal property.

Notes: Begins with TJ's 1789 letter to Madison expounding his theory on the earth belonging in usufruct to the living, examines TJ's conception of property and identifies a central contradiction between static and dynamic notions of property, i.e. property as a stable basis of a republican government created by virtuous landowners and property as an alienable medium that held inequality and hierarchy in check. Claims that TJ's "doctrine of political relativism" was at odds with traditional Lockean understanding of ownership, "for it effectively denied that ownership was or could be thoroughly privatized. It embraced each generation's power to recreate the configuration of property rights, allowing the republican polity to limit the alienation of land to whatever extent was necessary to create the necessary conditions for republican politics."

Claims Stowe, unlike TJ, concludes that "certain artifices--manners-" are required in order to achieve the actual existence of a particular community which can convey to men the idea of the end of their existence.

Title: Defending the Declaration: How the Bible and Christianity Influenced the Writing of the Declaration of Independence.
Publisher: Wolgemuth & Hyatt,
Place of Publication: Brentwood, TN:
Date: (1989)
Extent: 235.

Notes: Because he believes that "political liberty is a corollary of spiritual liberty in Christ," the author attempts to defend the Declaration from secularist interpretations which seem to deny its roots in "the Bible, Christian theology, the Western Christian intellectual tradition, medieval Christianity, Christian political theory, and the Christian influence on the six-hundred-year development of the English common law." Also seeks to defend the Declaration from the consequent rejections of "Christian" historians who have accepted the secular interpretation. In the process, however, tends to treat all discourse of the Western world as in effect commentary on the Bible and thus engaged in a continual restatement of the same truths. Subscribes to Francis Schaeffer's thesis that Samuel Rutherford's Lex Rex (1644) is a key text behind the Declaration. Presents TJ as a person who believed in Christian principles "although he never confessed Jesus Christ as Lord in the evangelical sense," and seeks to answer in the negative the question "Must a political leader confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior to be able at all to act on Biblical principles for government?" Offers an interesting insight into the discourse of "Christian intellectuals," although it will be less satisfactory to those looking for a solid interpretation of the Declaration than to those who share the author's concerns for Christian government.

Title: "Commercial Farming and the `Agrarian Myth' in the Early Republic."
Publication: Journal of American History
Volume: 68

Extent: 833-49.

Notes: Contends that TJ's vision for America in the 1780's was both agrarian and commercial. He envisioned a food-producing economy for an international market, thus economic independence and a rising standard of living. Debate between Jeffersonians and Hamiltonians was over how best to realize America's economic potential, "a struggle between two different elaborations of capitalistic development." TJ is not, as many historians have portrayed him, the loser in a battle against modernity but the winner in a contest over how the government should serve its citizens. Criticizes the "retrospective bias" which identifies modernity with industrialism and points out that the agriculturalists were responding to the economic realities (and apparent future) of their moment. In resisting Hamilton's policies the Republicans forwent the divisions historians have focused on in explaining party formation, -- rich vs. poor, merchants vs. farmers, commercial interests vs. proponents of self-sufficiency, -- because they believed that a freely developing economy would benefit all.

Title: "What Is Still American in the Political Philosophy of Thomas Jefferson?"
Publication: William and Mary Quarterly
Volume: 39
Date: (1982)
Extent: 287-309.

Notes: Contends that "more than another figure in his generation Jefferson integrated a program of economic development and a policy for nation building into a radical moral theory." This integration is most demonstrable in the later period of his life when he embraced the ideas of Destutt de Tracy, although a case is made for appearance of it in at least elementary forms as early as the time his appearance in the Continental Congress. Argues that TJ's commitment to an expanding commercial agriculture and later to commerce in general was linked to an optimistic assessment in individual moral possibility that differentiated him from the reverence for the past and the anxiety about the future characteristic of the tradition of civic humanism described by J. G. A. Pocock, John Murrin, and others. If the author's claims at their most far-reaching do not always seem to be fully supported by the evidence offered, they are nonetheless well enough grounded to offer a serious challenge to those historians who argue for the continuation as late as 1815 of a classical, "Country-minded" politics.

Notes: Claimed by right and left, TJ stands not so much for democracy as for freedom understood as liberation from all social authority. He "wrote the last will and testament" for the founding fathers, and his bequests have generated the conflicts among us, his heirs. Central for understanding TJ is his trust in man to be able to take care of himself, and his distrust of authority generated the "paradox of a passionately committed president working to divest the presidency of national relevance."

Notes: Argues against Lance Banning (see below) that the late eighteenth century saw the simultaneous presence of the classical republicanism of Harrington (updated by Montesquieu) and the liberal republicanism that TJ and contemporaries traced to Bacon, Newton, Locke, and Smith. These represented the republican paradigms of the Federalists and Jeffersonians, respectively. Claims that TJ's insistence upon the newness of the post-revolutionary republicanism, however exaggerated, was central to his world view. Says that in espousing limited government, the Jeffersonians endorsed a reordering of the boundaries between private and public spheres which signalled new directions in social development.

Points out that while there are "three domains in Jefferson's world--the political, the scientific and the economic," he privileged science. TJ was more commited to freedom, self-discovery, and rational inquiry than to productivity or to economic independence. Expresses some reservations about the communitarianism implicit in Tomlins's position.

Notes: Argues that TJ “more than any other leader had a vision of what America should stand for. ” His contribution was ideological, “the fusing of emotionally charged convictions into a single discursive grid,” but his natural rights doctrine of equality and popular sovereignty generated new prejudices that hindered the abolition of slavery and the extension of rights to freed slaves and aliens. By purporting to explain reality and not just to express aspirations, his natural rights philosophy eventually encouraged an American “hostility to differences. ” However, TJ's rejection of the domination of the past, embracing change and future possibility, distinguishes him from the other leaders of his generation.

Title: "The Jeffersonians: Classical Republicans or Liberal Capitalists?"
Publication: Journal of American Studies
Volume: 18
Date: (1984)
Extent: 425-35.

Notes: Review essay of Joyce Appleby's Capitalism and a New Social Order (1984) weighing its argument for the liberal and capitalist orientation of the Jeffersonians against the views of scholars such as Lance Banning who emphasize the debt they owe to classical republican ideology. Makes an essential point often overlooked in these efforts at ideological definition, "We need to know how typical a Jeffersonian Jefferson was." Finds that over various issues such as virtue, equality, commerce, and capitalism, the labels often do not stick when applied so as to discriminate between (among) Jeffersonians and Federalists.
