Quotes by C. Bradley Thompson (?)

“In a republican nation whose citizens are to be led by reason and persuasion and not by force,” Jefferson wrote in an 1824 letter, “the art of reasoning becomes of first importance.”

“Virtually all Enlightenment thinkers supported the idea that reason was efficacious and that it was man’s only means of acquiring knowledge. By confidently promoting the unaided reason of each and every man, Bacon, Newton, and Locke were saying that knowledge and objective truth were open to all men and not the preserve of a special few. Enlightenment reason was a social solvent that encouraged a deep-seated suspicion of authority. Men would no longer submit docilely to those whom Locke referred to as the “dictator[s] of principles.”

“The concept “rights” is a deduction from the fundamental fact of self-ownership. The claim to property in one’s own person is a moral claim to noninterference and exclusivity. No person has a claim on any other person’s life (i.e., their body, mind, and actions).”
