Thomas Paine: Essays, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Essays by Thomas Paine is a collection of short political and philosophical writings in which Paine argues for reason, individual liberty, and democratic government. Across these essays, he criticizes monarchy, hereditary privilege, and institutionalized religion, while defending natural rights and equality. Written in clear, direct prose for ordinary readers, the essays urge people to question authority, think independently, and recognize government as a tool meant to serve the public good rather than rulers. Overall, the collection reflects Paine's Enlightenment belief that rational thought and moral courage can lead to social and political reform.
