The Alchemy of America - the redemption of the Union - requires that we reconcile our national virtues and vices. These pages offer an origin story of the United States faithful to both the founding generation and our modern perspective, highlighting the perennial intellectual and spiritual principles beneath the historic deeds.A standalone work, this is also the second volume in a roughly chronological series and picks up where the first volume left off, before the founding of Jamestown in 1607.

Chapter 2, 'Sapere Aude' - Latin for 'Dare to Know', a 'motto of enlightenment' - looks at the Europeans who drove the intellectual life of the age which inspired America's Founders.
