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.
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.

雄辩而简洁
评分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……
评分头两章形而上地用文字跳舞,之后便如篇毕业论文般晦涩啰嗦,毕竟很难与独立战争之前的殖民地民众心理或其对立面感同身受。但是一些地缘政治学、政治经济学的理论体系雏形放在那个时代已经是非常先进的了。
评分五星全为催眠效果。Thomas Paine据说自学成才,虽然说的句句在理,总有一些无法打动人的感觉(不知道有没有联系)。讲的内容离现在的生活又比较遥远,实在是催眠圣品
评分今天确实很多东西成了常识,放到当时的时代下,这部作品却是意义非凡的。
1776年,美国独立战争的前夜,殖民地的民众面对强大的宗主国英国,情感复杂,有人急切要求开战独立,有人要求向英王求和。政治,军事,经济,历史,各种要素穿插在一起。面对混乱复杂的局势,托马斯单单使用常识,便给人们拨开重重迷雾,指出了唯一正确的道路,积极战备,要求...
评分首先,请不要误解这个标题,第一,爱与智慧浇灌的孩子未必长大后就充满爱与智慧;第二,我并没有兴趣讨论这个孩子,我说的是她的父母。 这本叫做《常识》的小册子仅仅五十页,在当时只有二百五十万人的北美殖民地行销五十万册,是名副其实的畅销书。潘恩是朕新纳入宫的宠妃,...
评分我们的潘恩在哪里 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...
评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...
评分本书写与1776年,独立宣言发表的那年,与独立宣言一起,成为北美人民反抗英国殖民统治的号角与檄文。 本书目的就是割断当时北美人对英国以及英国式政体的迷信、畏惧,以及幻想和依恋,劝说美国人用自己的力量创造一个崭新的共和国。就像劝慰一个18岁的青年,放弃对家庭和父母...
