Thomas Jefferson: A Modern Prometheus

James Madison's Political Theory: Hostage to Democratic Fortune
Professor Alan Gibson's insightful article contains much that is admirable. He is, in my view, correct in calling scholars' attention—particularly political scientists—to James Madison's often neglected views in his National Gazette essays and the foundational role of public opinion on all governments.

Debate about the nature and vitality of a civic humanist tradition in America long featured an argument between adherents of Louis Hartz's thesis of the United States as the world's most liberal nation and J. G. A. Pocock's claim that the eighteenth-century American political culture involved a transformation of the European civic republican tradition. More recently, scholars have converged on a pluralistic account stressing the mutual interactio…
Jefferson and Madison: Three Conversations from the Founding
If Men Were Angels: James Madison and the Heartless Empire of Reason
The ever-wary James Madison viewed his fellow citizens as anything but angelic. In this radically new interpretation, Richard Matthews portrays a much less optimistic (and yet more liberal) Madison than we've seen before. Neither civic humanist nor democrat, this Madison is a distrusting, calculating, and pragmatic Machiavellian Prince. Unlike previous authors, Matthews goes well beyond Madison's work on the Constitution to reconstruct the comple…
