20th January – Thomas Paine & The Age Of Reason – Paul Fitzgerald

20th January 2025

Explore the extraordinarily dramatic life and revolutionary ideas of Thomas Paine, one of history’s most neglected heroes of democracy, science and freethinking.

His writings ignited the American war of independence, and, in an age of dogma and rigid superstition, he quite literally risked his life standing up for reason, logic and enlightenment values.

He authored Common Sense‘, ‘Rights of Man’  and The Age of Reason… and to top it all off… he was once, briefly, a pirate!

Science, the partisan of no country, but the beneficent patroness of all, has liberally opened a temple where all may meet.
