Thomas Jefferson: Writings (Loa #17): Autobiography / Notes on the State of Virginia / Public and Private Papers / Addresses / Letters

This book is a treasure: it contains many of the writings of Thomas Jefferson, and his letters.They are reveal a crisp thinking, like Voltaire, Rousseau, the abbey Gregoire, Rabeau Saint Etienne, and other geat thinkers of the 17th Century (T.Jefferson meet with most), as well a Pascal who was way ahead of his time. TJ try to explain the rational for generosity, compassion, respect for life, respect for people, respect for justice, and more: anyone who claims to be president of the USA (or any sovereign nation) should read and understand this book. Unfortunatly this is probably not the case... Politicians love to use a citation of TJ, but their policies would often be despised by TJ.Let's hope that the future will give the US presidents with the values of this great thinker, and for the time being let's just be patient.
