Gebundenes Buch

Reflections on The Revolution in France And Other Writings

Beschreibung

Amid the 18th centuryâ s golden generation that included his companions Adam Smith, Samuel Johnson and Edward Gibbon, Burkeâ s controversial mixture of conservative and subversive theories made him first a marginal figure, and finally a revered theorist â a hero of the Romantics.

Autor

Philosopher, statesman, and founder of modern conservatism, Edmund Burke is both the greatest and most under-rated political thinker of the past three-hundred years. Born in Ireland in 1729, and greatly affected by its bigotry and extremes, his career constituted a lifelong struggle against the abuse of power.
