TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Tom Paine and the Rights of Man


Monday 09 February 2026 is the 289th anniversary of the birth of Thomas Paine (born Thomas Pain; 09 February 1737 [O.S. 29 January 1736 – 08 June 1809), who was born Thetford, a town in Norfolk, on this date 1737.


Paine was centrally involved in the great historical events of his time, playing a prominent role in both the American and French revolutions. He wrote in a letter to George Washington, “A share in two revolutions is living to some purpose.” Paine did indeed live to some purpose, and his thought can’t be meaningfully distinguished from the purposes for which he lived. To discuss one is to discuss the other.
