內容簡介

《人的權利》是托馬斯·潘恩極為成熟與系統化的政治思想作品，書中駁斥了埃德蒙·伯克在《法國大革命之反思》中對法國大革命的抨擊，點出了法國革命的劃時代意義，併成為啟蒙運動的指導作品之一。“它衝破了當時籠罩於整個西方先進思想界對英國君主立憲政體的迷信，深刻地批判了這一政體，給當時還處於摸索狀態的法國革命指明瞭共和主義的嶄新方向。”該書曾被英國媒體評為“改變世界的十大著作”之一，與《資本論》齊名。

With an Introduction by Derek Matravers.

Rights of Man is a classic statement of the belief in humanity's potential to change the world for the better. Published as a reply to Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France, it differs from that great work in every relevant respect. Where Burke uses the language of the governing classes, Paine writes with the vigour of a self-taught mast-maker and exciseman. With passionate and rapier wit, Paine challenges Burke's assertion that society cannot be judged by rational standards and found wanting.

Rights of Man contains a fully-costed budget, advocating measures such as free education, old age pensions, welfare benefits and child allowance over 100 years before these things were introduced in Britain. It remains a compelling manifesto for social change.
