Reviews
Danielle Allen celebrates the Declaration of Independence by reading it closely--line by line, comma by comma--and invites her fellow citizens to do the same. The result is a richly rewarding book that demonstrates the pleasures of slow reading, the power of words to shape events, and the importance of equality to democratic life., Our Declaration is an artful, often elegiac meditation on the meaning of Jefferson's famous words for our time. Allen brings the analytical skills of a philosopher, the voice of a gifted memorialist, and the spirit of a soulful humanist to the task at hand, and manages to do something quite rare, find new meaning in Jefferson's understanding of equality., This wise and rich book is what we need in these troubled times--a robust and persuasive defense of equality and liberty grounded in our national scripture. Danielle Allen is a towering political philosopher of the democratic art of being and a force for good!, Our Declaration is an artful, often elegiac meditation on the meaning of Jefferson's famous words for our time. Allen brings the analytical skills of a philosopher, the voice of a gifted memorialist, and the spirit of a soulful humanist to the task at hand, and manages to do something quite rare, find new meaning in Jefferson's understanding of equality., An astounding new book that should reinvigorate public understanding of the founding document of the United States... Reading Ms. Allen makes reading the Declaration meaningful and enjoyable--a powerful enough lesson it is't own right., Our Declaration is a primer on all that we have been missing... Not just an invaluable civics lesson but also a poignant personal memoir... Allen is an evangelist for this romantic moment in American history when men of uncommon vision and political deftness stated their case and listed their grievances against the most powerful nation on Earth., Our Declaration sets forth a bold thesis... Allen's passion for each of the Declaration's 1,337 words is admirable., Danielle Allen's poignant and personal reflection on the Declaration of Independence is a rare and singular work...[S]he has written a book that throws open a door to a large circle of readers: anyone with a stake in democracy. Her observations about the importance of language in building and sustaining a republic are especially resonant and worthy of the towering rhetoric of the Declaration. Our Declaration holds the promise of both discovery and rediscovery whether you've never read the Declaration or have memorized each of its 1,337 words.

Finding the deeper meaning of our declaration
This is a stunning book and although one might believe examining our Declaration of Independence practically word for word might be a daunting effort, Allen presents us with a deeply important experience. This book should be required reading for every citizen!
