Title: "Thomas Jefferson: The Virtue of Aesthetics and the Aesthetics of Virtue."
Publication: American Historical Review
Volume: 87
Date: (1982)
Extent: 337-56.

Notes: Argues that TJ's morality was ruled by neither science or reason alone but by an "aesthetics of virtue, a fusion of art and morals, whereby reflective beings are capable of discerning the path to virtue through aesthetic experience." Describes a dynamic moral model with two fundamental dialectics, between the Heart (sentiment) and the Head (reason/memory/imagination) and between humanity and nature. Describes the roots of this in Shaftesbury, incidentally offering an important corrective to Garry Wills's claims for the primacy of Hutchesonian moral sense. Reads Notes as "Notes on the State of Virtue," focusing on the sublime passages as aesthetic and moral demonstrations of the interaction of memory, reason, imagination and sentiment; comments also on TJ's understanding of blacks and his notion of happiness. A suggestive and important essay.

Title: "The Moral-Aesthetic Essay in America." Ph.D. dissertation. Purdue University,
Publication: DAI 2529-A.
Volume: 45
Date: (1984)
Extent: 275.

Notes: Defines the moral-aesthetic essay as a work with an overt incitement to moral action and an explicit focus on the relations between beauty, art, and morality; morality and aesthetics become mutually constitutive. Includes a discussion of TJ's writings leading to the claim that they provide a grammar of Moral-Aesthetic discourse. Also discusses Edwards, Margaret Fuller, Thoreau, Henry Adams, and James Agee. See essay by same author in 1982, noted above.

Title: "Securing the Freedom of the Subject: Jefferson's Notes on the State of Virginia and the State of Happiness" in Freedom, Foucault, and the Subject of America.
Publisher: Northeastern University Press
Place of Publication: Boston
Date: (1991)
Extent: 17-46.

Notes: Reads Notes as "a trope for an aesthetic-ethical self" that links personal virtue with civic virtue. TJ's "virtuous self-stylization" is a "technology of the self" that opposes the modern era's subject of desire, a subjectivity that can never be fulfilled. Notes the contradictions between TJ's classical moral principles that focus on self regulation and pleasure and the moral sense philosophy that "subsumed individuality within the requirements of society."

Publication: Review of Politics

Notes: Uses TJ to argue against excessive judicial intervention in public affairs, including judicial review. Claims “a written constitution works the way the Founders intended only if there is no judicial review,” and suggests TJ was right in reposing confidence in the good sense of citizens.
