Illustrates how the Founders drew upon and transformed the ideas of earlier philosophers of education such as Plato, Xenophon, Milton, Bacon, and Locke. The authors show how Washington, Jefferson, and Franklin presented their own lives as models for the education of others and analyze the subtle, provocative moral philosophy implicit in the self-depiction of each.
