Basic Writings Of Thomas Paine: Common Sense, Rights Of Man, Age Of Reason (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781432515386)

The Basic Writings Of Thomas Paine is a collection of three influential works by the famous political activist and philosopher, Thomas Paine. The book includes his most well-known works: Common Sense, Rights Of Man, and Age Of Reason. Common Sense is a pamphlet that was published in 1776 and is considered one of the most important works in American history. It argues for American independence from Great Britain and promotes the idea of a democratic government. Rights Of Man, published in 1791, is a defense of the French Revolution and a critique of the British government. Paine argues for the rights of individuals and the importance of a representative government that is accountable to the people. Age Of Reason, published in two parts in 1794 and 1795, is a critique of organized religion and promotes the idea of rationalism and scientific inquiry. Paine argues that individuals should rely on reason and evidence rather than religious dogma. Together, these three works provide a comprehensive view of Paine's political and philosophical beliefs and his influence on the American and French Revolutions. The Basic Writings Of Thomas Paine is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of political thought and the development of democracy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
