Description
Rights of Man is a foundational text in the realm of political philosophy, penned by the revolutionary thinker Thomas Paine. This compelling work argues for the inherent rights of individuals, challenging the traditional structures of government and advocating for a society based on reason and justice.
The Story
Written in response to the tumultuous political landscape of the 18th century, Rights of Man serves as both a defence of the French Revolution and a critique of hereditary monarchy. Paine articulates the principles of human rights and civil liberties, asserting that government should exist to protect the rights of its citizens, not to oppress them. His passionate prose and incisive arguments resonate with the ideals of democracy and equality, making this work a timeless manifesto for freedom.
