Description
Edmund Burke: A Diagnoser of Political Misrule Ross Carroll presents a nuanced portrait of Edmund Burke as a diagnostician of political misrule. Drawing on Burke's enormous corpus, Carroll argues that Burke's lasting value lies in the difficult questions he forces us to ask of ourselves. Burke's writings are seen by some as prophetic warnings about the dangers of revolutionary or democratic ideologies, while others view him as a defender of social hierarchy and outmoded institutions. However, Carroll tempers these judgments by situating Burke's arguments within the political controversies of his day. This engaging account of Burke's work is a vital reference for students and scholars of history, philosophy, and political thought, offering a fresh perspective on one of eighteenth-century politics' most complex figures.
