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.

讀後感

評分

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

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

有时他会说出一串精彩的脏话。但更多的时候他让我们发现身陷笑柄。 “专制政体有着如下好处,那就是它们来得十分简单,如果人们受苦受难,他们终会知道他们的灾难时从谁的头脑中产生出来的,也会知道补救的办法,没有形形色色的原因和救苦救难的方法使他们手足无措。' ...  

評分

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...  

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...

五星全為催眠效果。Thomas Paine據說自學成纔,雖然說的句句在理,總有一些無法打動人的感覺(不知道有沒有聯係)。講的內容離現在的生活又比較遙遠,實在是催眠聖品

评分

今天確實很多東西成瞭常識,放到當時的時代下,這部作品卻是意義非凡的。

评分

美國必須從英國獨立,君主製國王是邪惡的,這些是常識,結閤時代就是為獨立背書,隱約有點之後美國孤立主義的影子,沒啥意思

评分

Storyline: 從大處著眼先講明政權起源,繼而辯駁君主製和世襲製,這當中一直以英國作為例子。接著小處著手,探討美國現在的處境,聲明一定要獨立,以及如果要獨立,美國現在的能力。 邏輯清晰,語言乾練強勢,罵起人來毫不含糊,不像小說傢藉故事暗諷,也不像毛姆或者奧威爾明諷,而是直接開罵,有罵醒美國人的架勢,在當時的情景下非常閤適瞭。mark 一下今年的第20本書。
