Sinopsis
Common Sense by Thomas Paine (Bauer World Press) In his 1776 pamphlet Common Sense, Thomas Paine presents a compelling and erudite argument for the independence of the American colonies from the British Crown. With sagacious prose, Paine explicates the inherent injustices and impracticalities of the colonial system, and passionately advocates for the establishment of a new, independent nation. Pane's incisive logic addresses the economic, political, and ideological objections to the revolutionary cause. By appealing to the common sense of his audience, Paine effectively dismantles the intellectual foundations of British rule in the American colonies. Common Sense remains an eminent piece of political philosophy and a clarion call for liberty and self-determination. It has inspired generations of Americans and continues to provoke thought around the world. The immediate success upon its release, and retaining its status as the most widely circulated title in American history relative to population, further attests to the enduring power and resonance of Paine's ideas. "No writer has exceeded Paine in ease and familiarity of style, in perspicuity of expression, happiness of elucidation, and in simple and unassuming language."
