Observations sur la Virginie

Thomas Jefferson, a man of nearly unparalleled influence and excellence in the history of the United States, was a man of letters, but not of books. This autobiography, covering the years 1743-1790, gifts the reader with the rare insight and perspective of a man present for the great deliberations of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitutional Convention, and the French Revolution. Explore the deliberations surrounding the Declaration, its omitted portion that derided the British King for imposing slavery onto the Colonies, and the near-abolition of slavery in 1775 if not for the protests of a few Southern Colonies. This edition, carefully edited to maintain its meaning, is modernized in language, abbreviation, and spelling to cater to the modern reader and make it far more accessible to a broader number of we the people. Footnotes define archaic and difficult terms, and also provide translation for Latin and French words and phrases. Edited and Introduced by Shane Caraway, author of The 1787 Project.

The Autobiography of Thomas Jefferson - Essential Readings in American History

Inoubliable rédacteur de la Déclaration d'indépendance (1776), ambassadeur en France de 1785 à 1789 puis troisième président des États-Unis de 1800 à 1808, Thomas Jefferson a aussi été l’auteur de multiples textes – discours et correspondances – d’une portée capitale en philosophie politique mais dont beaucoup n’étaient pas jusqu’alors disponibles en français. Il s’y fait l’ardent avocat d’un exigeant idéal d’inspiration lockéenne fondé sur les droits naturels de l’individu sur sa vie, sa liberté et sa propriété – garantis par la constitutionnalisation d’un État fédéral aux pouvoirs limités.De la tension entre des préoccupations « whig » (libérales) et républicaines résulte une pratique politique guidée par la volonté de contenir les prérogatives d’un pouvoir forcément imparfait: séparation de l’Église et de l’État (liberté de culte), contrôle des gouvernants par les gouvernés (consentement des citoyens, confiance dans le peuple), respect de la plus large autonomie des États fédérés par un « gouvernement sage et frugal » seulement voué à favoriser la poursuite du bonheur par chacun.Des Écrits qui constituent une clé indispensable à la bonne compréhension des débats qui animent l’Amérique contemporaine, où Jefferson demeure une référence privilégiée.

Protagonista di primissimo piano della storia e della cultura politica americane, Thomas Jefferson è stato autore - oltre che della Dichiarazione d'Indipendenza del 1776 - di un gran numero di lettere, inviate ad amici e conoscenti, ma che spesso rappresentano veri e propri saggi di teoria politica. In particolare, nelle pagine qui antologizzate è evidente l'ispirazione lockiana di tale "padre fondatore" che diventerà il terzo Presidente degli Stati Uniti e che nonostante il ruolo che si troverà a ricoprire rimarrà sempre persuaso che il migliore governo è quello che governa meno. Il nesso tra la tutela del singolo e un ordine politico competitivo emerge con chiarezza da questi scritti, in cui è chiara l'esigenza di trovare il modo di limitare quanto più sia possibile il potere.
