Yeah, but Jefferson would never have existed in the first place
without the Enlightenment/Reformation, which were in turn (roughly)
reactions to the middle ages (sort of), of which Aquinas is generally
considered the emblematic thinker. But I suppose with this logic we
would have to go back to the breakup of Pangaia...

CB: I thought the Enlightenment/Reformation was a reflection in
superstructure of the revolution in base/infrastructure, i.e. the
bourgeois revolution overthrowing the feudal mode of production in
Europe.
