For Burke is one of the foremost conservative British political thinkers: in his support for piecemeal reform rather than revolutionary change, in his sceptical belief in expediency and practical wisdom rather than abstract theorising, and in his defence of property, religion and traditional institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn all these topics, Burke gave a definitive expression to a set of attitudes still at the heart of contemporary controversies, and yet he was no mere unthinking reactionary. Rather, as Conor Cruise O'Brien shows in his introduction, he was an Irishman with a good deal of sympathy for the \"revolutionary\" Catholic cause— a latent sympathy which, paradoxically, may explain some of the power of this work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReflections on the Revolution in France\u003c\/em\u003e is a powerful exposition of these ideas, making it an essential read for anyone interested in the complexities of political thought and history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46532635132140,"sku":"9780140432046","price":24.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/27208233482237.jpg?v=1749322478","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/reflections-on-the-revolution-in-france-by-edmund-burke-9780140432046","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
