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

被感恩与被唾弃的托马斯·潘恩! 中国人据说(如本书的评语)很神经病地喜欢他。 外国人据说很神经质地反对他! 常识只具有历史性的小读本,它的重要是因为它讲出了懒散的人没有去再讲的话。道理人人都懂,这叫常识。但讲得明白,讲得有情有理有节有热情的,不容易。 独立与和...

我们的潘恩在哪里 据传当年的北美大陆,几乎每一个成年人都读过或者听过别人谈这本不到50页的小册子,其流传之广仅次于《圣经》,在几百年后,美国的历史学家还坚信,除《汤姆叔叔的小屋》外,在美国再也没有出版物曾发生那样巨大的反响。 然而...

初读《常识》,我立即被托马斯·潘恩富有感染力的语言所吸引和震撼。我不是一个专业研究政治学和历史学的人,只是一个普通的读者。如果撇去潘恩对于英美之间的利弊抗衡等相关的内容,这仍旧不失为一本宣贯常识的好书。 启发民智,扫除蒙昧,质疑成见,托马斯·潘恩之于美国历...

潘恩的思想无疑是先进的,可<独立宣言>竟然没他什么份儿,开国元勋中也没他的名字。他一生都在辩论,和所有的当权者辩论,我不知道这样说有没有错。 或者说他是一个改革者,要改革所有的旧势力,包括他的创新与发明就是这样。 在创新思想方面,他无疑是一位天才...

A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right.

翻开任何一页都在讲同样一件事,无聊透顶

小小的一本读得却异常的慢,感觉并没有全部理解……以后有机会再读一遍好了……

两趟飞机读完,可见灯塔国光辉肇始,但确实絮絮叨叨...
