An intellectual, scholar, revolutionary, deist and idealist. A radical pamphleteer, I anticipated and helped foment the American Revolution through my powerful writings, most notably Common Sense, an incendiary pamphlet advocating independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. An advocate of liberalism, I outlined his political philosophy in Rights of Man, written both as a reply to Edmund Burke's view of the French Revolution and as a general political philosophy treatise as well as Common Sense, a treatise on the benefits of personal liberty and limited government, in which I consider society a representation of human ideals, and government a necessary evil.
