Haimo Li, Fudan University, Shanghai, China, at Studies in Burke and His Time.
"Conor Cruise O’Brien realized that the divergence between Burke and Jefferson mainly happened after the outbreak of French Revolution, but he thought that that divergence, once happened, was permanent and never reconciled. [footnote omitted] For a sharper understanding of the thought and legacy of these two great contemporaries, however, it is necessary to realize that some important overlap in their thinking can be found. In this article I propose to show, for example, that there may exist a fully viable Burkean reading of Jefferson’s legal theory between 1809 and 1826, a period referred to below as 'late-Jefferson.'"
