Rights of Man, Common Sense and Other Political Writings

Rights of Man, Common Sense and Other Political Writings

Mark Philp
4/5 ( ratings)
Thomas Paine was the first international revolutionary. His Common Sense was the most widely read pamphlet of the American Revolution and his Rights of Man , the most famous defense of the French Revolution, sent out a clarion call for revolution throughout the world. Paine paid the price for his principles: he was outlawed in Britain, narrowly escaped execution in France, and was vilified as an atheist and a Jacobin on his return to America.

This new edition contains the complete texts of both Rights of Man and Common Sense, as well as six other powerfully political writings - American Crisis I, American Crisis XIII, Agrarian Justice, Letter to Jefferson, Letter Addressed to the Addressers on the Late Proclamation and Dissertation on the First Principles of Government - all of which illustrate why Paine's ideas still resonate in the modern welfare states of today.
