RTJ #36: Book Review: Hannah Spahn's Black Reason, White Feeling
Nov 17, 2024 "The Real Thomas Jefferson, Episode 1: The Revisionist Fictions Today of Thomas Jefferson"
"The title bespeaks just what Spahn is aiming to argue. Using white Thomas Jefferson and black Phyllis Wheatley to be representative of two distinct movements in America's Enlightenment, she argues that Jefferson bequeathed an epistemology of feeling, not reason, and that Wheatley and her black disciples, as it were, play rationally off Jefferson's confusion to give us a hermeneutic grasp for today of his Declaration. Confused? Just wait till you watch the video!"
