Ideas That Ignited a Revolution: The Philosophy Behind the American Revolution In-Person / Online
Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the intellectual roots of America’s founding. This event will explore how Enlightenment philosophers such as Locke, Montesquieu, and Rousseau shaped the ideals that fueled the American Revolution. We’ll examine how concepts like natural rights, the social contract, and the separation of powers became the foundation of American political thought. By tracing the influence of these ideas, the discussion will shed light on how revolutionaries envisioned liberty, democracy, and self-governance.
