Thomas Paine (January 29, 1737 (NS February 9, 1737) – June 8, 1809) was an English American author, pamphleteer, radical, inventor, intellectual, revolutionary, and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He has been called "a corsetmaker by trade, a journalist by profession, and a propagandist by inclination."

Born in Thetford, in the English county of Norfolk, Paine immigrated to the British American colonies in 1774 in time to participate in the American Revolution. His principal contributions were the powerful, widely read pamphlet Common Sense (1776), the all-time best-selling American book that advocated colonial America's independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain, and The American Crisis (1776–1783), a pro-revolutionary pamphlet series. "Common Sense" was so influential that John Adams said, "Without the pen of the author of 'Common Sense,' the sword of Washington would have been raised in vain.”

Paine lived in France for most of the 1790s, becoming deeply involved in the French Revolution. He wrote the Rights of Man (1791), in part a defense of the French Revolution against its critics. His attacks on British writer Edmund Burke led to a trial and conviction in absentia for the crime of seditious libel. Despite not speaking French, he was elected to the French National Convention in 1792. The Girondists regarded him as an ally, so, the Montagnards, especially Robespierre, regarded him as an enemy. In December of 1793, he was arrested and imprisoned in Paris, then released in 1794. He became notorious because of The Age of Reason (1793–94), his book that advocates deism, promotes reason and freethinking, argues against institutionalized religion and Christian doctrines. He also wrote the pamphlet Agrarian Justice (1795), discussing the origins of property, and introduced the concept of a guaranteed minimum income.

In 1802 he returned to America where he died on June 8, 1809. Only six people attended his funeral as he had been ostracized for his ridicule of Christianity.

The Anglo-American writer and political theorist Thomas Paine (1737-1809) boldly spoke out for social and political reforms, and played an active role in the American War of Independence. His great and highly influential pamphlet, Common Sense, published in January 1776, was the first bold, explicit assault on monarchical rule, and the first advocacy of the American colonies' independence from Britain.

Written in clear language, Common Sense laid out how an independent government could be established and controlled by the people, and how rich and poor alike could share equally in privileges and duties. It was Paine's enlightened contention that in order to ensure liberty, no special preferments should be attached to any one religious sect, but that religious diversity should be respected.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
