Albert Taylor Bledsoe (1809-1877) was an American scholar, mathematician, lawyer, and theologian well-regarded for his work in the antebellum period. Known for his staunch defense of the South and slavery, he served as a Confederate officer during the American Civil War. Bledsoe was born in Frankfort, Kentucky, and displayed a remarkable intellectual aptitude from a young age, which led him to pursue a diverse educational path. He graduated from West Point in 1830 and had a brief tenure as an assistant professor of mathematics there before resigning to study law. After practicing law for several years, he turned to theology, obtaining his degree from the University of Halle in Germany. Bledsoe's literary style combined rigid logic with a profound philosophical bent, which is evident in his critiques of prevailing philosophical and theological positions of his time. His most notable works include 'An Examination of President Edwards' Inquiry into the Freedom of the Will,' which challenges Jonathan Edwards' views on determinism and free will, and presents Bledsoe's case for human agency and liberty. The analytical rigor with which Bledsoe approached such subjects has made his contributions a point of study for those interested in philosophical theology and the intellectual history of the United States during the 19th century.
