Description: The Cambridge Companion to Edmund Burke by David Dwan, Christopher Insole Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Edmund Burke is a key thinker in the history of modern political thought. His writings, speeches and actions reflect complex views on jurisprudence, politics, empire, aesthetics, rhetoric, religion and moral philosophy. This comprehensive Companion examines each facet of Burkes thought and concludes with an evaluation of his legacy and reputation. Publisher Description Edmund Burke prided himself on being a practical statesman, not an armchair philosopher. Yet his responses to specific problems - rebellion in America, the abuse of power in India and Ireland, or revolution in France - incorporated theoretical debates within jurisprudence, economics, religion, moral philosophy and political science. Moreover, the extraordinary rhetorical force of Burkes speeches and writings quickly secured his reputation as a gifted orator and literary stylist. This Companion provides a comprehensive assessment of Burkes thought, exploring all his major writings from his early treatise on aesthetics to his famous polemic, Reflections on the Revolution in France. It also examines the vexed question of Burkes Irishness and seeks to determine how his cultural origins may have influenced his political views. Finally, it aims both to explain and to challenge interpretations of Burke as a romantic, a utilitarian, a natural law thinker and founding father of modern conservatism.
