Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays shifts the focus of scholarly debate away from the themes that have traditionally dominated the study of Edmund Burke. In the past, largely ideology-based or highly textual studies have tended to paint Burke as a "prophet" or "precursor" of movements as diverse as conservatism, political pragmatism, and romanticism. In contrast, these essays address prominent issues in contemporary society--multiculturalism, the impact of postmodern and relativist methodologies, the boundaries of state-church relationships, and religious tolerance in modern societies--by emphasizing Burke's earlier career and writings and focusing on his position on historiography, moral philosophy, jurisprudence, aesthetics, and philosophical skepticism. The essays in this collection, written by some of today's most renowned Burke scholars, will radically challenge our deeply rooted assumptions about Burke, his thought, and his place in the history of Western political philosophy.

Book Synopsis Edmund Burke and the Art of Rhetoric by : Paddy Bullard
Download or read book Edmund Burke and the Art of Rhetoric written by Paddy Bullard and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-21 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edmund Burke ranks among the most accomplished orators ever to debate in the British Parliament. But often his eloquence has been seen to compromise his achievements as a political thinker. In the first full-length account of Burke's rhetoric, Bullard argues that Burke's ideas about civil society, and particularly about the process of political deliberation, are, for better or worse, shaped by the expressiveness of his language. Above all, Burke's eloquence is designed to express ethos or character. This rhetorical imperative is itself informed by Burke's argument that the competency of every political system can be judged by the ethical knowledge that the governors have of both the people that they govern and of themselves. Bullard finds the intellectual roots of Burke's 'rhetoric of character' in early modern moral and aesthetic philosophy, and traces its development through Burke's parliamentary career to its culmination in his masterpiece, Reflections on the Revolution in France.

Book Synopsis A Vindication of Natural Society by : Edmund Burke
Download or read book A Vindication of Natural Society written by Edmund Burke and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-06-18 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vindication of natural society Burke, Edmund The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Book Synopsis The Literary Genres of Edmund Burke by : Frans De Bruyn

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Literary Genres of Edmund Burke resituates Burke's political writings within the larger literary enterprise of the eighteenth century, which did not as yet recognize the boundary that today separates literature from other forms of discourse, including history, oratory, politics, and philosophy. Burke understood himself to be, above all, a 'literary' writer, a claim that held a far-reaching cultural, ideological, and political significance for him and his audience. This book explores what the eighteenth century understood by the term 'literature' and demonstrates how thoroughly Burke relies on the dominant literary discourses of his time, especially the satirical and georgic/didactic modes, in composing his speeches and polemics. From his debt to the Scriblerian satire of Pope and Swift to his reliance on contemporary dramatic and georgic discourses, Burke's systematic deployment of literary forms and features in his political writings reflects the closed, restrictive political culture of his time, before the age of mass democracy demanded new modes of mass political discourse. De Bruyn's study demonstrates how the literary forms Burke uses are indispensable to the meaning and persuasiveness of his texts as they negotiated the elite political and cultural economy of his time.
