Produktbeschreibung

""A Letter From Mr. Burke, To A Member Of The National Assembly: In Answer To Some Objections To His Book On French Affairs"" is a political pamphlet written by Edmund Burke in 1791. The book is a response to objections raised by a member of the French National Assembly to Burke's earlier work, ""Reflections on the Revolution in France."" In the letter, Burke defends his views on the French Revolution and argues against the radical changes taking place in France. He asserts that the revolutionaries are destroying the traditional order and values of society, leading to chaos and violence. Burke also expresses his concern about the potential impact of the French Revolution on other countries in Europe, warning of the danger of spreading revolutionary ideas. The book is a significant contribution to the political discourse of the time and provides insight into the conservative perspective on the French Revolution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autorenporträt

Edmund Burke (1729 - 9 July 1797) was an Irish-British statesman, economist, and philosopher. Born in Dublin, Burke served as a member of Parliament (MP) between 1766 and 1794 in the House of Commons of Great Britain with the Whig Party. Burke was a proponent of underpinning virtues with manners in society and of the importance of religious institutions for the moral stability and good of the state. These views were expressed in his A Vindication of Natural Society. He criticised the actions of the British government towards the American colonies, including its taxation policies. In the 19th century, Burke was praised by both conservatives and liberals. Subsequently, in the 20th century, he became widely regarded, especially in the United States, as the philosophical founder of conservatism.
