Reflections on the Revolution in France

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (18250 ratings)

Description:The book is far more than a supremely eloquent piece of occasional writing. For Burke is without a doubt the foremost conservative British political thinker: in his support for piecemeal reform rather than revolutionary change, in his skeptical belief in expediency & practical wisdom rather than abstract theorizing, in his defence of property, religion & traditional institutions. On all these topics Burke gave a definitive expression to a set of attitudes still at the heart of today's controversies. Yet Burke was no mere unthinking reactionary, a useful ally in Cold War propaganda; rather, as Conor Cruise O'Brien shows in a brilliant essay, he was an Irishman with a good deal of sympathy for the 'revolutionary Catholic cause'--a latent sympathy which, paradoxically, may explain some of the unparelleled power of his great work.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
