Description

Thomas Paine was an English-born American philosopher, political theorist, and revolutionary. Included in this collection are Paine's most essential works: Common Sense The American Crisis Rights of Man The Age of Reason Paine authored the two hugely influential pamphlets Common Sense (1776) and The American Crisis (1776-1783) at the start of the American Revolution and thus helped spur the declaration of independence. Paine was also deeply involved in the French Revolution and wrote Rights of Man (1791), in part as a defense of the French Revolution. In The Age of Reason (1794- 1807) Paine argued the philosophical position of deism. The book became a best-seller in the United States, where it caused a short-lived deistic revival.
