Thomas Paines todelte essay MENNESKETS RETTIGHEDER fra 1791-92 var et af de mest indflydelsesrige skrifter i sin samtid. I dag er det et klassisk forsvar for demokrati og lighed. MENNESKETS RETTIGHEDER var i udgangspunktet et forsvar for den franske revolution, men udviklede sig til en mere generelt fortale for demokrati og lighed via en analyse af de fundamentale årsager til utilfredshed i de europæiske samfund og en kur mod onderne forårsaget af vilkårligt styre, fattigdom, analfabetisme, arbejdsløshed og krig. Paine argumenterede for en republikansk styreform frem for monarki og fremlagde en plan for almen uddannelse, fattighjælp, pension til de gamle og beskæftigelsesarbejde til de arbejdsløse. Planen, foreslog han, skulle finansieres af en progressiv indkomstskat. Den herskende klasse i England opfattede Paines forslag som en opfordring til revolution, og styret forbød hans bog og fængslede hans forlægger. Paine selv blev tiltalt for landsforræderi og en arrestordre blev udsendt, men Paine var på dette tidspunkt på vej til Frankrig og slap dermed for tugthuset. ♥♥♥♥♥♥ - Politiken Om forfatteren Thomas Paine, 1737-1809, britisk filosof og amerikansk revolutionær.

The Age of Reason; Being an Investigation of True and Fabulous Theology is a work written by English and American political activist Thomas Paine. It follows in the tradition of eighteenth-century British deism, and challenges institutionalized religion and the legitimacy of the Bible. Originally distributed as unbound pamphlets, it was published in three parts in 1794, 1795, and 1807. It was a best-seller in the United States, where it caused a short-lived deistic revival. British audiences, however, fearing increased political radicalism as a result of the French Revolution, received it with more hostility. The Age of Reason presents common deistic arguments; for example, it highlights what Paine saw as corruption of the Christian Church and criticizes its efforts to acquire political power. Paine advocates reason in the place of revelation, leading him to reject miracles and to view the Bible as "an ordinary piece of literature rather than as a divinely inspired text". It promotes natural religion and argues for the existence of a creator-God.

It also includes Paine's own defense, which he delivered in court. The book provides a fascinating insight into the political and social climate of the time and the challenges faced by those who spoke out against the government.

El sentido comun, ensayo escrito por Thomas Paine, se publico por primera vez el 10 de enero de 1776, durante la Revolucion americana. Este ensayo ejercio una gran influencia sobre la opinion publica durante la guerra de independencia estadounidense, presentando una argumentacion contra el dominio britanico en un momento en que la cuestion independentista provocaba todavia suspicacias e indecision en gran parte de los colonos. Paine redacto el panfleto en un estilo sencillo para que la gente pudiera entenderlo sin dificultad, renunciando al lenguaje filosofico y al latin, muy utilizados por los escritores de la Ilustracion. Paine estructuro la obra como si se tratara de un sermon apoyandose en la Biblia para convencer al lector. Relaciona la independencia con la generalizada fe protestante y su sustrato disidente para presentarla como una identidad politica americana inconfundible. El historiador Gordon S. Wood describio El sentido comun como "el panfleto mas incendiario y popular que se publico durante la etapa revolucionaria." El ensayo afirma que las colonias norteamericanas no obtenian ninguna compensacion de su metropoli, cuyo unico proposito era explotar sus riquezas, y que cualquier analisis sensato concluiria con la necesidad de obtener la independencia del dominio britanico y establecer un gobierno republicano propio

Common Sense was a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine. It was first published anonymously on January 10, 1776, during the American Revolution. Paine wrote it with editorial feedback from Benjamin Rush, who came up with the title. The document denounced British rule and, through its immense popularity, contributed to stimulating the American Revolution. The second edition was published soon thereafter. A third edition, with an accounting of the worth of the British navy, an expanded appendix, and a response to criticism by the Quakers, was published on February 14, 1776.
