Common Sense

Common Sense pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載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.

具體描述

讀後感

評分

因为对美国一直并非太了解,所以不曾对其文化精神方面妄加评论… 毕竟不了解就没有评论权… 我是抱着“看看你们每天耀武扬威到底是以什么为根据的”的态度去看的… 然后发现我这种态度就玷污了这本书… 这本书我个人觉得纯粹是社会学上的…它本身不涉及任何体制之间的孰优孰劣...  

評分

有些名著不是很难读,比如潘恩的《常识》,内容确实如书名所言,全是常识,但这些常识是就今天而言的,在此书出版的年代,也就前一年莱克星顿的枪声打响之后的1776年1月,这本书所具有的震撼人心的作用是今人所不可想象的,彼时的人们,包括许多建国先贤,还都处于要不要与...

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...  

評分

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...

如果不結閤曆史背景整體隻能說一般吧,字麵上潘恩簡直是迷之自信

评分

首先是感嘆佩恩能在君主製的時代,就能提齣具體的民主的實踐方式;再是覺得,自己有時就像佩恩筆下的advocates of "reconciliation"一樣——並沒有當事人的經曆,也不瞭解當事人的痛苦,就用自己的一套“二者皆可”論說服彆人。可是雖然佩恩對於這種人的批判非常尖銳,我仍然相信,若能理解彆人的感情,而後仍然保持著皆可論,不偏激,定然是大智慧。

兩趟飛機讀完,可見燈塔國光輝肇始,但確實絮絮叨叨...

评分

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