Description

Liberty or Justice for All brings to life four of Americas greatest thinkers whose dialogue across the ages has never been more relevant Philip F Gura begins his nimble tale with Jonathan Edwards a fiery preacher who insisted that God would reward those who embraced social cooperation One generation later the Founding Fathers grounded their own project of civic renewal in rights and freedom But if every citizen is guaranteed life liberty and the pursuit of happiness does this mean America is a nation where the individual reigns supreme
