Tato část pojednává o důležitosti epistemologického výkladu lidské mysli a jeho propojení s formou vlády se zaměřením na liberální a radikální koncepce této politické filozofie a následný střet těchto koncepcí v Americké revoluci.

This bachelor thesis primarily deals with the radical political thought formulated by the American revolutionary Thomas Paine in his pamphlet Common Sense in the context of the Enlightenment and the political theories which emerged from it. The first, theoretical, part focuses on the historical period of the Enlightenment which is ideologically interconnected with the American Revolution. This part discusses the importance of the epistemological analysis of the human mind and its link to a form of government with the emphasis on liberal and radical concepts of this political philosophy, and the consequent conflict of these concepts in the American Revolution.

Zásady pro vypracování
Firstly, basic religious and political ideas of the Enlightenment should be introduced with emphasis on changes from earlier periods. Next the historico-cultural background of 18th century America should be summarized, with the various political groupings as well as their goals and tactics outlined, including where the work of Thomas Paine fits into the period. The longest and most important part of the BP should be an analysis of Common Sense in terms of the arguments therein that reflect Enlightenment thinking as well as the different types of rhetorical devices used to express these points. In this section the effects of Common Sense during the period before, during and right after the American Revolution should be described, i.e. who read it and what actions were inspired by the work ? here looking at different socioeconomic classes could prove fruitful. Finally, a brief comparison should be made between the ideals in Common Sense and the reality of setting up the new government under the Articles of Confederation. As a conclusion some aspects of the overall legacy of the work in American culture can be mentioned.
