Common Sense

Common Sense pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025

Thomas Paine was born in Norfolk, England, on January 29, 1737. He received a basic education in history, mathematics, and science, but left school at age 13 to apprentice in his father's corsetmaking shop. In 1757, he spent time at sea aboard the privateer ship King of Prussia, and later found employment as a journeyman staymaker in London. All the while, Paine continued to study on his own, influenced by the work of two leading figures of the Enlightenment, Isaac Newton and John Locke. He began writing political pamphlets, and at the urging of Benjamin Franklin, emigrated to Philadelphia in 1774 to work as an editor for The Pennsylvania Magazine. In 1776, he published Common Sense, which called for America's political freedom from England. The pamphlet sold more than 150,000 copies in three months. Paine next published The American Crisis during the Revolutionary War, inspiring George Washington to read it to his troops at Valley Forge. By the end of the Revolution, however, Paine's influence had run its course, and he fell out of political favor. He returned to Europe, where he published his treatise Rights of Man, which led to his arrest on charges of high treason. Disillusioned with life abroad, he returned to the U.S. to find himself vilifed as an agitator and atheist. He died in obscurity in New York City in 1809.

When Common Sense was published in January 1776, it sold, by some estimates, a stunning 150,000 copies in the colonies. What exactly made this pamphlet so appealing? This is a question not only about the state of mind of Paine's audience, but also about the role of public opinion and debate, the function of the press, and the shape of political culture in the colonies. This Broadview edition of Paine’s famous pamphlet attempts to reconstruct the context in which it appeared and to recapture the energy and passion of the dispute over the political future of the British colonies in North America. Included along with the text of Common Sense are some of the contemporary arguments for and against the Revolution by John Dickinson, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson; materials from the debate that followed the pamphlet's publication showing the difficulty of the choices facing the colonists; the Declaration of Independence; and the Pennsylvania Constitution of 1776.

读后感

1776年,托马斯•潘恩出版了鼓励北美独立的小册子《常识》,他用激昂铿锵、清晰睿智的语言嘲弄了君主制的昏庸、抨击了世袭制的荒诞,并为人们描述了理想中的共和政体,在那里,人权得到了最大限度的实现。你同样可以在这个小册子里读到某党最爱念叨的依法治国和今天的...

火,黑暗因它而获得光明和温暖,但是火却总是在光明和温暖中化为一堆灰烬,有时候这堆灰烬还会被风吹散得没有踪迹。 这几天,终于从出版社朝九晚五的日子中结束了,回到了我的随心所欲中,而把自己幸福地扔到了那部厚重的美国新闻史中——这是一本我在书店驻足犹豫多次的书籍...

首先,翻译得太差了。 改天等自己英文进步的时候再看英文版的。 书中论述的政府、人与社会的关系大概是人人都能看懂的。我现在明白为什么美国人时时刻刻处处讲自由民主人权,因为他们的国家就是在这样的思考下诞生的。 相比之下,我们的国家似乎因为历史的悠久反而丧失了思考的...

这本畅销一时的书其实是理性多于激情。虽然里面有一些华美的句子,但更多是对切身利益的恳切畅谈。我想,它用实践的胜利证明了论辩中和心理学有关的四个要点: (1)制造强烈的对比。心理学的锚定定律表明,人对某一事物的评论强烈受到之前评论(即便是随机的而且他明...

Idealistic author boiling his blood

翻开任何一页都在讲同样一件事,无聊透顶

五星全为催眠效果。Thomas Paine据说自学成才,虽然说的句句在理,总有一些无法打动人的感觉(不知道有没有联系)。讲的内容离现在的生活又比较遥远,实在是催眠圣品

评分

美国必须从英国独立,君主制国王是邪恶的,这些是常识,结合时代就是为独立背书,隐约有点之后美国孤立主义的影子,没啥意思
