About The Book THOMAS PAINE In 1774, Thomas Paine, thirty-seven years of age, landed unknown and penniless in the American colonies. Born at Thetford, Norfolk, England, Jan. 29, 1737, of poor Quaker parents, he had tried many occupations, and had succeeded in none. Within two years he had become an intellectual leader of the American Revolution. Beginning his literary career with an attack on slavery, he continued it in 1776 by publishing his pamphlet "Common Sense," which gave an electric inspiration to the cause of separation and republicanism among the colonists. After serving the new commonwealth in office and with his pen, he went to France on an official mission in 1781; then returned to his native England, intent on furthering his views. In 1793 Paine wrote the first part of "The Age of Reason," which aroused a storm of indignation, but undaunted, he added a second and a third part to the work, consisting mostly of amplifications of some of the contentions advanced in the first part, in the writing of which Paine had no Bible to consult. The book, the first part of which was published in 1794, the second part in 1795, and the third in 1801, is an exposition of Deism on a purely scientific basis; the visible creation was everything to Paine in his reasonings, the religious hopes, fears and aspirations of men were nothing at all--this universal human phenomenon was curtly dismissed by him as a universal human delusion. Many of his comments on the Bible were rather crude anticipations of the modern Higher Criticism. But in dealing with the Bible, Paine showed the animus of a prosecuting counsel rather than the impartiality of a judge. His stormy life ended on July 8, 1809. (See also ECONOMICS, Vol. XIV.)

En Filadelfia, en 1776, Thomas Paine publicó anónimamente un folleto llamado El sentido común. Su alegato por la independencia de las colonias inglesas en América y su diatriba antigubernamental dirigida al rey Jorge III vendió 100.000 ejemplares en menos de tres meses. Finalmente, medio millón de ejemplares circularon por los Estados Unidos, que sólo tenían dos millones de ciudadanos alfabetizados. El escrito de Paine no sacrificaba grandeza retórica alguna. Cuando los estadounidenses contemporáneos miran al pasado en busca de inspiración en sus Padres Fundadores, las palabras de Paine parecen aun más cargadas de significado.

To My Fellow-Citizens of the United States of America: I PUT the following work under your protection. It contains my opinions upon Religion. You will do me the justice to remember, that I have always strenuously supported the Right of every Man to his own opinion, however different that opinion might be to mine. He who denies to another this right, makes a slave of himself to his present opinion, because he precludes himself the right of changing it. The most formidable weapon against errors of every kind is Reason. I have never used any other, and I trust I never shall. Your affectionate friend and fellow-citizen, Thomas Paine

This book is an impassioned and forthright attempt to awaken British natives from their sleep before their culture is obliterated. It also provides one alarmed citizen's brief sketch of a plan for action.

El sentido común, ensayo escrito por Thomas Paine, se publicó por primera vez el 10 de enero de 1776, durante la Revolución americana. Este ensayo ejerció una gran influencia sobre la opinión pública durante la guerra de independencia estadounidense, presentando una argumentación contra el dominio británico en un momento en que la cuestión independentista provocaba todavía suspicacias e indecisión en gran parte de los colonos. Paine redactó el panfleto en un estilo sencillo para que la gente pudiera entenderlo sin dificultad, renunciando al lenguaje filosófico y al latín, muy utilizados por los escritores de la Ilustración. Paine estructuró la obra como si se tratara de un sermón apoyándose en la Biblia para convencer al lector. Relaciona la independencia con la generalizada fe protestante y su sustrato disidente para presentarla como una identidad política americana inconfundible. El historiador Gordon S. Wood describió El sentido común como "el panfleto más incendiario y popular que se publicó durante la etapa revolucionaria". El ensayo afirma que las colonias norteamericanas no obtenían ninguna compensación de su metrópoli, cuyo único propósito era explotar sus riquezas, y que cualquier análisis sensato concluiría con la necesidad de obtener la independencia del dominio británico y establecer un gobierno republicano propio.

This is a treatise concerning religion written by eighteenth-century British radical and American revolutionary Thomas Paine. It criticizes the institutionalized religion.

This book was published as a pamphet anonymously during the American Revolution, a few months before the American Independence. Paine inspired many concerning rebellion and liberty with this writing.

Thomas Paine was an American political commentator and activist in the latter part of the eighteenth century. His writing covered a wide range of subjects, but were centered on his core beliefs of republicanism and the inherent rights of people. An early pamphlet of his, ¿Common Sense,¿ was written soon after he arrived in America from Great Britain; with its focus on the ills of colonialism and the King¿s veering between rational debate and righteous outrage, it has been cited as one of the major catalysts for the American Revolution. Later work attempted to correct the mistakes he perceived in post-revolution French government¿written from experience after his election to the French National Convention¿and even suggested a costed plan for a universal basic income funded by an inheritance tax.Collected here are his essays and pamphlets written between 1776 and 1797, including the aforementioned ¿Common Sense¿ and other influential works like ¿The Republican Proclamation¿ and the ¿Declaration of Rights.¿

The Age of Reason is an important work in the American Deist movement. Paine worked on it continually for more than a decade, publishing it in three parts from 1794 through 1807. It quickly became a best-seller in post-Revolution America, spurring a revival in Deism as an alternative to the prevailing Christian influence.In clear, simple, and often funny language, Paine attempts to dissect the Bible¿s supposed inaccuracies and hypocrisies. He portrays the Bible as a human construct, full of illogic, errors, and internal inconsistencies, as opposed to it being a text born of divine inspiration. On those arguments he pivots to decrying not just Christianity, but organized religion as a whole, as a human invention created to terrorize and enslave. Instead of accepting organized religion, he states that ¿his mind is his own church¿ and that man must embrace reason.While these arguments weren¿t new to the wealthy and educated class of the era, they were new to the poor masses. The book was at first distributed as cheap unbound pamphlets, making it easily accessible to the poor; and Paine¿s simple language was written in way the poor could understand and sympathize with. This made the powerful very nervous, and, fearing that the book could cause a potential revolution, Paine and his publishers were suppressed.Paine wrote The Age of Reason while living in Paris. In France, its thesis wasn¿t revolutionary enough for the bloodthirsty Jacobins; he was imprisoned there for ten months and only escaped execution through a stroke of luck. Meanwhile in Britain, the government considered the pamphlets seditious. British booksellers and publishers involved in printing and distributing the pamphlets were repeatedly tried for seditious and blasphemous libel, with some even receiving sentences of hard labor.Paine began writing Part III after escaping France for America, but even the American elite thought the book too scandalous, with Thomas Jefferson¿himself a Deist¿advising Paine not to publish. Paine listened to Jefferson¿s advice and held off publishing Part III for five years before publishing extracts as separate pamphlets. For that reason, Part III is not a concrete publication, but rather an arrangement of several loosely-related pamphlets organized at the discretion of an edition¿s editor.Once it was in the hands of Americans, it sparked a revival in Deism in the United States before being viciously attacked from all sides. Paine earned a reputation as an agitator and blasphemer that stuck to him for the rest of his life.Despite The Age of Reason¿s harsh reception¿or perhaps, because of it, and the controversy and discussion it caused¿it achieved a popularity in England, France, and America that gave it incredible influence in those nation¿s perspectives on organized religion.

The American Crisis is a collection of articles by Thomas Paine, originally published from December 1776 to December 1783, that focus on rallying Americans during the worst years of the Revolutionary War. Paine used his deistic beliefs to galvanize the revolutionaries, for example by claiming that the British are trying to assume the powers of God and that God would support the American colonists. These articles were so influential that others began to adopt some of their more stirring phrases, catapulting them into the cultural consciousness; for example, the opening line of the first Crisis, which reads ¿These are the times that try men¿s souls.¿

Thomas Paine wrote the first part of The Rights of Man in 1791 as a response to the furious attack on the French Revolution by the British parliamentarian Edmund Burke in his pamphlet Reflections on the Revolution in France, published the previous year. Paine carefully dissects and counters Burke¿s arguments and provides a more accurate description of the events surrounding the revolution of 1789. He then reproduces and comments on the ¿Declaration of the Rights of Man and of Citizens¿ promulgated by the National Assembly of France.The manuscript of The Rights of Man was placed with the publisher Joseph Johnson, but that publisher was threatened with legal action by the British Government. Paine then gave the work to another publisher, J. S. Jordan, and on the advice of William Blake, Paine went to France to be out of the way of possible arrest in Britain. The Rights of Man was published in March 1791, and was an immediate success with the British public, selling nearly a million copies.A second part of the book, subtitled ¿Combining Principle and Practice,¿ was published in February 1792. It puts forward practical proposals for the establishment of republican government in countries like Britain.The Rights of Man had a major impact, leading to the establishment of a number of reform societies. After the publication of the second part of the book, Paine and his publisher were charged with seditious libel, and Paine was eventually forced to leave Britain and flee to France. Today The Rights of Man is considered a classic of political writing and philosophy.

Common Sense is the timeless classic that inspired the Thirteen Colonies to fight for and declare their independence from Great Britain in the summer of 1776. Written by famed political theorist Thomas Paine, this pamphlet boldly challenged the authority of the British government and the royal monarchy to rule over the American colonists.By using plain language and a reasoned style, Paine chose to forego the philosophical and Latin references made popular by the Enlightenment era writers. As a result, Paine united average citizens and political leaders behind the central idea of independence and transformed the tenor of the colonists' argument against the British. As the best-selling American title of all time, Common Sense has been eloquently described by historian Gordon S. Wood as "the most incendiary and popular pamphlet of the entire revolutionary era."Thomas Paine (1737-1809) was an English-American political activist, philosopher, and revolutionary. As one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, he authored the most influential pamphlets at the start of the American Revolution and inspired the colonists to declare independence from Great Britain in 1776. His ideas reflected Enlightenment-era rhetoric of transnational human rights and the separation of church and state. He has been called a corset-maker by trade, a journalist by profession, and a propagandist by inclination.

The decent people of our country are gravely oppressed by the combination, and as the King of England, in his own Right, supports the Parliament in what he calls Theirs, they have an undeniable right to enquire into both parties' claims and to reject either one's usurpation. Some authors have blurred the lines between society and government, making it difficult to tell the two apart. Government is created by our wickedness, whereas society is created by our desires. The former positively promotes happiness by combining our emotions, while the latter adversely restricts our vices. The first one was a patron, the latter one a judge. Our strength comes from our unity, not from our size, yet even so, the might of the entire planet may be repelled by our current numbers. It is interesting to consider how a race of men became so elevated above all others and distinct like a brand-new species. Our land force is already adequate, and we can't pretend to be oblivious to the fact that Britain would never let the construction of an American man of war as long as the continent was under her control in terms of naval affairs. Denial of the British parliament's authority "to bind the colonies in all instances whatsoever" was one of the finest expressions of romantic unity that America has ever known.

Challenging the institutionalized religion and legitimacy of the Bible, The Age of Reason was Paine's years of study and reflection on the role of religion in society. His arguments had long been available to the educated elite, but by presenting them in an engaging and irreverent style, he made deism appealing and accessible to the masses. Originally distributed as unbound pamphlets, the book was cheap in order to put it within the reach of a large number of buyers. Fearing the spread of whatwere potentially revolutionary ideas, the British government prosecuted printers and booksellerswho were associated with its publication and reach. However, even through that, The Age of Reason surpassed the boundaries of the religious agendas throughout the world at the dawn of the nineteenth century, and its resonance remains undiminished by time.In this influential and controversial work, Paine criticized organized religion as power hungry andcorrupt and advocated for religious tolerance and freedom of thought. Accessible, clever, humorousand far ahead of its time, The Age of Reason continues to resonate with readers today.

The Age of Reason; Being an Investigation of True and Fabulous Theology is a work by English and American political activist Thomas Paine, arguing for the philosophical position of deism. It follows in the tradition of 18th-century British deism, and challenges institutionalized religion and the legitimacy of the Bible. It was published in three parts in 1794, 1795, and 1807.In Part I, Paine outlines his major arguments and personal creed. In Parts II and III he analyzes specific portions of the Bible in order to demonstrate that it is not the revealed word of God. Most of Paine's arguments had long been available to the educated elite, but by presenting them in an engaging and irreverent style, he made deism appealing and accessible to a mass audience.

Common Sense is a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in 1775-1776 advocating independence from Great Britain to people in the Thirteen Colonies. Writing in clear and persuasive prose, Paine marshaled moral and political arguments to encourage common people in the Colonies to fight for egalitarian government. It was published anonymously on January 10, 1776, at the beginning of the American Revolution and became an immediate sensation.

"The Voice of Revolution" is a must-read for anyone interested in the foundations of the United States and the fight for liberty and justice. This collection brings together four of Paine's most influential works: "Common Sense", "The American Crisis", "Rights of Man", and "The Age of Reason". "Common Sense" is a powerful and persuasive call for American independence, written at a time when the idea of breaking away from Britain was still controversial. Paine's arguments, grounded in the principles of natural law and reason, helped to sway public opinion and fuel the revolutionary spirit. "The American Crisis" is a series of pamphlets written during the American Revolutionary War, in which Paine offers encouragement and hope to the fledgling nation as it struggles against the might of the British Empire. Through his stirring words, Paine inspires his fellow Americans to persevere and keep fighting for their rights and freedoms."Rights of Man" is a defense of the French Revolution and a critique of the British monarchy and government. Paine argues for the rights and equality of all citizens, and calls for the establishment of a representative democracy. "The Age of Reason" is a treatise on theology and the nature of God. Paine challenges traditional beliefs and asserts the importance of reason and skepticism in matters of faith. Together, these works form a powerful and thought-provoking collection that will appeal to anyone interested in history, political theory, and philosophy. "The Voice of Revolution" is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the foundations of modern democracy and the struggle for human rights.
