Abraham Lincoln as a Man of Ideas
Autor Allen C. Guelzo Cuvânt înainte de Michael Linden Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 dec 2016 – vârsta ani
Despite the most meager of formal educations, Lincoln had a tremendous intellectual curiosity that drove him into the circle of Enlightenment philosophy and democratic political ideology. And from these, Lincoln developed a set of political convictions that guided him throughout his life and his presidency. This compilation of ten essays from Lincoln scholar Allen C. Guelzo uncovers the hidden sources of Lincoln’s ideas and examines the beliefs that directed his career and brought an end to slavery and the Civil War.

Recenzii
“Allen Guelzo is one of the finest Lincoln scholars of our generation, and this book of essays reveals once again a unique combination of impeccable scholarship with a wonderfully readable narrative style.”—Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln
“Written in an easy, flowing style, Abraham Lincoln as a Man of Ideas is a valuable compendium of the ideas driving some of our most important historical inquiries into Lincoln’s life and times. This first-rate collection is a significant contribution to the literature on Lincoln.”—Brian R. Dirck, author of Lincoln and Davis: Imagining America, 1809–1865
“In Abraham Lincoln as a Man of Ideas, Guelzo continues [his] mission of situating Lincoln within the broad sweep of Western intellectual history and specifically the deep-seated Enlightenment ideas that informed his devotion to ‘rationality, individualism, personal rights, and progress’ as fundamental American principles. . . . Every essay is an exercise in revelation that connects Lincoln to a broad Western intellectual tradition, rather than asking him to spring spontaneously, if not fully formed, from the crucible of the American Backwoods.”—Kenneth J. Winkle, Journal of Historical Biography
“[Guelzo] shows Lincoln’s mind to be that of a man of great mental abilities, certainly one of the active Renaissance men of American development. Lincoln was the Thomas Jefferson of the nineteenth century, as we are recognizing more and more.”—Ray B. Browne, Journal of American Culture
