Jeffersonian Science

"Freedom is the first-born daughter of science."

— Thomas Jefferson

Jefferson is, of course, best known as a learned writer, politician and Founding Father. But what we have to remember is Jefferson also was a man of science. He held a strong belief in the science of reason, and reaching conclusions based on evidence and logic. It is only when we pursue truth via reason and logic — as Jefferson so eloquently asserts in the above quote — that true freedom is born.
