About the Book
Edmund Burke, the greatest Whig spokesman of his day in the British Parliament, was one of the most forceful and rational political thinkers of all time. This selection from his speeches and writings reveals a political philosophy which is viable, even prophetic, in our own time. Burke's distrust of disembodied reason, his vision of the law of all nations, and his wise pragmatism speak to everyone concerned with maintaining the democratic freedoms in an age when millions are subject to the tyranny of abstract political ideas.
