Thomas Jefferson: Psychobiography of an American Lion

M. Andrew Holowchak

0/5 ( ratings)

The sort of assessment Holowchak aims to do in this book is both historical and psychological, so the book is in large measure a psy-chobiography. Holowchak aims to enter into the mind of Thomas Jefferson by perusal and critical assessment of significant events in his life and singular, but representative writings from Jefferson’s nearly 20,000 letters, numerous bills, addresses, messages, autobi-ography, and Notes on Virginia. It is difficult to do justice to Jefferson from a historical per-spective and it is doubly difficult to do justice to Jefferson from a psychological perspective. In this book, Holowchak offers historical insights and psycho-logical perspective on Jefferson. He depicts a man with several psychological quirks—with definite neurotic tendencies—yet one who throughout his numerous adventures in life, and many set-backs, kept things together. With profound recognition that the things he saw in nature were due to the hand of deity, Jefferson observed, measured, and recorded what he saw. He even at times saw fit to critique nature, when he recognized that humans could work with nature to make things more serviceable for human needs. Jefferson was always in the business of accommodating na-ture for human needs. Holowchak ends the book with some thoughts on Jefferson’s moral outlook and character.
