Episode 15
Join us for a conversation about the moral, intellectual, and political world of the American founders, in a discussion with C. Bradley Thompson, Professor of Political Science at Clemson University, and author of America's Revolutionary Mind: The Moral History of the American Revolution and the Declaration that Defined it (2019). This major re-interpretation of the Revolution, looks at the ideas of America's Revolutionaries and the Declaration in which they announced them. What did the "self-evident truths" of equality, of the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness mean to the Revolutionary generation, and what do they mean to us?
