“Until the early 90s, when I was working on a project about the idea of free will in American philosophy. I knew that Lincoln had had something to say about "necessity" and "fatalism," and so I began writing him into the book. In fact, Lincoln took over.

And if he is what passes for happy, such a state is lower than the self-content of the meanest animal.”
