Common Sense

Thomas Paine's influential writings played a pivotal role in shaping revolutionary thought in America and beyond. His pamphlet "Common Sense" galvanized support for independence, while "Crisis" papers motivated the American public during the Revolutionary War. In "Rights of Man," he defends the French Revolution and republican ideals, and "The Age of Reason" explores the intersection of religion and society. Paine's legacy as a master political propagandist is underscored by his ability to articulate the principles of freedom and reason.
