Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the intellectual and cultural evolution of America's founders during the 18th century, particularly their rejection of Puritanical dogma in favor of classical learning and Enlightenment ideals. The author argues that figures like Benjamin Franklin, though often depicted as uneducated provincials, were widely read, worldly, and deeply engaged with the great minds of Europe. Through their writings and activism, these men not only shaped the American Revolution but also laid the foundation for a uniquely American Enlightenment that emphasized practicality, self-reliance, and a commitment to progress. The book sheds light on the formative influences that shaped the American character and offers valuable insights into the origins of American intellectual and political traditions.
