First of all, I would like to apologize if this topic was already posted (and addressed).
I am writing a paper in University and it is for Ethics class. The topic of the paper is to pick a particular statesman, or philosopher or some other dignitary (spelling?) and to judge him as an advocate for virtue, utilitarianism or deontology.
I realize I can google myself. I did, still do. But the wealth of information is so immense that I hate to waste much time searching among countless sites just to find a line or two saying who Thomas Paine was.
Can someone either tell me what philosophy he subscribed to, or where to look to find what I am looking for, either on the internet or right here on able2know.com?
And yes, I will continue research on my own, too so please nobody think that I want you to do my homework.
Thank you everybody in advance.
Adding "American Revolution" to the Google search channels the flood of information.

Google "wikipedia tom paine".
The wikipedia is an on-line, free encyclopedia.
