Burke's intellectual breadth appeals to a diverse audience, attracting both conservatives and liberals alike. His ability to navigate and transcend traditional boundaries in thought makes him a significant figure in philosophical discourse, valued for his insights across the political spectrum.
Edmund Burke's critique of revolutionary politics is dynamically presented in this abridged version of his work, which removes less relevant details for contemporary readers. Brian R. Clack's insightful introduction provides a thorough overview and analysis of Burke's consistent views on revolution. Additionally, themed appendices enrich the text with supplementary materials that further illuminate Burke's arguments, making this edition both accessible and informative for modern audiences.
The intellectual wellspring of modern political conservatism, Edmund Burke is also considered a significant figure in aesthetic theory and cultural studies. As a member of the House of Commons during the late eighteenth century, Burke shook Parliament with his powerful defense of the American Revolution and the rights of persecuted Catholics in England and Ireland; his indictment of the English rape of the Indian subcontinent; and, most famously, his denouncement of English Jacobin sympathizers during the French Revolution. The Portable Edmund Burke is the fullest one-volume survey of Burke's thought, with sections devoted to his writings on history and culture, politics and society, the American Revolution, Ireland, colonialism and India, and the French Revolution. This volume also includes excerpts from his letters and an informative Introduction surveying Burke's life, ideas, and his reception and influence in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
In his Enquiry Edmund Burke overturned the Platonic tradition in aesthetics and replaced metaphysics with psychology. His revolutions in method and sensibility influenced later philosophers and literary and artistic movements from the Gothic novel to Romanticism and beyond. This new edition guides the reader through Burke's arguments.
Presenting a scathing attack on the French revolution's attitudes to existing institutions, property and religion, this work makes a cogent case for upholding inherited rights and established customs. It argues for piecemeal reform rather than revolutionary change, and deplores the influence the revolution might have in Britain.
