""Power, Morals, and the Founding Fathers: Essays in the Interpretation of the American Enlightenment"" by Adrienne Koch is a collection of essays that explores the intellectual and philosophical underpinnings of the American Revolution and the formation of the United States. Koch examines the ideas of key figures such as Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and James Madison, and how their beliefs about power, morality, and human nature influenced the founding of the nation. The essays cover topics such as the role of religion in the American Enlightenment, the influence of Scottish Enlightenment thinkers on the Founding Fathers, and the debate over the meaning and purpose of democracy. Through her analysis, Koch provides a nuanced and insightful understanding of the complex ideas that shaped the American Revolution and the early years of the United States. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American political thought and the intellectual roots of American democracy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
