El sentido comun, ensayo escrito por Thomas Paine, se publico por primera vez el 10 de enero de 1776, durante la Revolucion americana. Este ensayo ejercio una gran influencia sobre la opinion publica durante la guerra de independencia estadounidense, presentando una argumentacion contra el dominio britanico en un momento en que la cuestion independentista provocaba todavia suspicacias e indecision en gran parte de los colonos.
