The pamphlet series, written by Thomas Paine during the American Revolution, consists of thirteen numbered issues published between 1776 and 1777, followed by three more from 1777 to 1783. The first pamphlet appeared in The Pennsylvania Journal in December 1776, where Paine used the pseudonym "Common Sense." The series addresses the struggles and motivations of the time, aiming to inspire support for the revolutionary cause and articulate the philosophical underpinnings of American independence.

Focusing on deism, Thomas Paine's work critiques institutionalized religion and questions the legitimacy of the Bible. Published in three parts between 1794 and 1807, it reflects the 18th-century British deist tradition, promoting reason and individual thought over dogma. Paine's investigation emphasizes the importance of philosophical inquiry in understanding theology, making a significant contribution to Enlightenment thought and religious discourse.

"Age of Reason, The Definitive Edition, includes Paine's original two volumes of Age of Reason, plus his third volume which remained unreleased until 1807. President Thomas Jefferson convinced Paine not to publish his third volume in 1802, as Paine originally intended, out of fearof the backlash it may cause. Now, thanks to this edition of Paine's Age of Reason, the modern reader can enjoy Paine's three-volume original work in one distinguished manuscript."

One of the great classics on democracy, Rights of Man was published in England in 1791 as a vindication of the French Revolution and a critique of the British system of government. In direct, forceful prose, Paine defends popular rights, national independence, revolutionary war, and economic growth—all considered dangerous and even seditious issues. In his introduction Eric Foner presents an overview of Paine's career as political theorist and pamphleteer, and supplies essential background material to Rights of Man. He discusses how Paine created a language of modern politics that brought important issues to the common man and the working classes and assesses the debt owed to Paine by the American and British radical traditions.
