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.

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...

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...

首先是感叹佩恩能在君主制的时代,就能提出具体的民主的实践方式;再是觉得,自己有时就像佩恩笔下的advocates of "reconciliation"一样——并没有当事人的经历,也不了解当事人的痛苦,就用自己的一套“二者皆可”论说服别人。可是虽然佩恩对于这种人的批判非常尖锐,我仍然相信,若能理解别人的感情,而后仍然保持着皆可论,不偏激,定然是大智慧。

on kindle。看完完全记不得自己看过了什么。

Paine critiques monarchy, especially the evil of hereditary succession. His advocacy for a democratic government is a direct response to the endless suppression and manipulation of the British empire. America desires independence and strives for independence. The tract can be very inspiring and impassioned in that historical period.
