Overview

The Age of Reason written by Thomas Paine, is a philosophical pamphlet arguing for the position of deism, originally published in three parts in 1794, 1795, and 1807. The work promotes the concept of natural religion, basing the arguments for the existence of a creator-God on reason and natural science instead of revelation. The Age of Reason became a best seller in the United States but was heavily censored in Great Britain because of the governments fear of radical political ideas because of the French Revolution.Thomas Paine was an English born American citizen who had been helped in the immigration process by Benjamin Franklin. During the American revolution, Paine became the Secretary of the Congressional Committee on Foreign Affairs and participated in diplomatic missions abroad. His work went on to inspire French intellectuals in the French Revolution, which Paine was a supporter of.
