註釋Thomas Paine, a revolutionist in three countries, helped shape the emerging liberal democratic world of the late 18th century. His writings continue to merit our attention because of the depth of his political, philosophical, economic, and religious vision. This volume emerged from a conference held at San Diego State University in October, 2005. Discussion focused on Paine's historical importance and his contemporary legacy, on the relevance of his social analysis, and on his role as a symbol for those dedicated to progressive reform. Paine's American homeland has been transformed in a manner he most likely would not have endorsed. In this volume, scholars and biographers gather to show his voice remains resonant -- a reminder of what this country might have been and still has the potential to become. -- From publisher's description.
