Live with Thomas Jefferson: The Enlightenment

Thomas Jefferson believed science and reason were the surest paths to human progress. He urged a rethinking of government based on democracy, education, and free press — but his ideas were part of a larger, global intellectual shift known as "the Enlightenment.” Join us for this week's Enlightenment-focused livestreams beginning with Thomas Jefferson, interpreted by Bill Barker, on Tuesday, July 28, at 1:00 p.m. EDT. Jefferson will discuss his favorite authors and philosophers, and how this fascinating era shaped and influenced his thinking.
