Download or read book On Empire, Liberty, and Reform written by Edmund Burke and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great British statesman Edmund Burke had a genius for political argument, and his impassioned speeches and writings shaped English public life in the second half of the eighteenth century. This anthology of Burke's speeches, letters, and pamphlets, selected, introduced, and annotated by David Bromwich, shows Burke to be concerned with not only preserving but also reforming the British empire. Bromwich includes eighteen works of Burke, all but one in its complete form. These writings, among them the "Speech on Conciliation with the American Colonies," A Letter to the Sheriffs of Bristol, the "Speech at Guildhall Previous to the Election" of 1780, the "Speech on Fox's India Bill," A Letter to a Noble Lord, and several private letters, demonstrate the depth of Burke's efforts to reform the empire in India, America, and Ireland. On these various fronts he defended the human rights of native peoples, the respect owed to partners in trade, and the civil liberties that the empire was losing at home while extending its power abroad.

Download or read book A Vindication of the Rights of Men written by Mary Wollstonecraft and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 2017 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1790 came that "extraordinary outburst of passionate intelligence," Mary Wollstonecraft's reply to Edmund Burke's attack on the principles of the French Revolution entitled a "Vindication of the Rights of Men." In this pamphlet she held up to scorn Burke's defence of monarch and nobility, his merciless sentimentality. "It is one of the most dashing political polemics in the language," Mr. Taylor writes enthusiastically, "and has not had the attention it deserves. . . . For sheer virility and grip of her verbal instruments it is probably the finest of her works. Some of her sentences have the quality of a sword-edge, and they flash with the rapidity of a practised duellist. It was written at a white heat of indignation; yet it is altogether typical of the writer that, in the midst of the work, quite suddenly, she had one of her fits of callousness and morbid temper, and declared she would not go on. With great skill Johnson persuaded her to take it up again; and with equal suddenness her eagerness returned, and the book was finished and published before any one else could answer Burke."
Download or read book The Great Debate written by Yuval Levin and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2013-12-03 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An acclaimed portrait of Edmund Burke, Thomas Paine, and the origins of modern conservatism and liberalism In The Great Debate, Yuval Levin explores the roots of the left/right political divide in America by examining the views of the men who best represented each side at its origin: Edmund Burke and Thomas Paine. Striving to forge a new political path in the tumultuous age of the American and French revolutions, these two ideological titans sparred over moral and philosophical questions about the nature of political life and the best approach to social change: radical and swift, or gradual and incremental. The division they articulated continues to shape our political life today. Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the basis of our political order and Washington's acrimonious rifts today, The Great Debate offers a profound examination of what conservatism, progressivism, and the debate between them truly amount to.

Book excerpt: Irish-British statesman, economist, and philosopher, Edmund Burke wrote this letter when he got stripped of his pension in 1796. He responded by supporting his ideas on government economy and showing how his and other allowances were not conflicting with these ideas. Burke attacked the French Revolution and mentioned how its views endangered the very people after his pension, probably because he was hostile to precisely these ideas. This letter was praised a century and a half after being written as the most significant piece of invective in the English language.

Download or read book A Letter from Edmund Burke written by Edmund Burke and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-06-10 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A letter from Edmund Burke By Edmund Burke Burke was a proponent of underpinning virtues with manners in society and of the importance of religion in moral life.[6][page needed] These views were expressed in his A Vindication of Natural Society. Burke criticized British treatment of the American colonies, including through its taxation policies. He also supported the rights of the colonists to resist metropolitan authority, though he opposed the attempt to achieve independence. Burke is remembered for his support for Catholic emancipation, the impeachment of Warren Hastings from the East India Company and for his staunch opposition to the French Revolution. In his Reflections on the Revolution in France, Burke asserted that the revolution was destroying the fabric of good society, traditional institutions of state and society and condemned the persecution of the Catholic Church that resulted from it. This led to his becoming the leading figure within the conservative faction of the Whig Party, which he dubbed the "Old Whigs," as opposed to the pro-French Revolution "New Whigs," led by Charles James Fox.[7] We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
