Book An Analysis of Edmund Burke s Reflections on the Revolution in France

Download or read book An Analysis of Edmund Burke s Reflections on the Revolution in France written by Riley Quinn and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edmund Burke’s 1791 Reflections on the Revolution in France is a strong example of how the thinking skills of analysis and reasoning can support even the most rhetorical of arguments. Often cited as the foundational work of modern conservative political thought, Burke’s Reflections is a sustained argument against the French Revolution. Though Burke is in many ways not interested in rational close analysis of the arguments in favour of the revolution, he points out a crucial flaw in revolutionary thought, upon which he builds his argument. For Burke, that flaw was the sheer threat that revolution poses to life, property and society. Sceptical about the utopian urge to utterly reconstruct society in line with rational principles, Burke argued strongly for conservative progress: a continual slow refinement of government and political theory, which could move forward without completely overturning the old structures of state and society. Old state institutions, he reasoned, might not be perfect, but they work well enough to keep things ticking along. Any change made to improve them, therefore, should be slow, not revolutionary. While Burke’s arguments are deliberately not reasoned in the ‘rational’ style of those who supported the revolution, they show persuasive reasoning at its very best.

Book The Vindications The Rights of Men and The Rights of Woman

Download or read book The Vindications The Rights of Men and The Rights of Woman written by Mary Wollstonecraft and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 1997-06-16 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The works of Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) ranged from the early Thoughts on the Education of Daughters to The Female Reader, a selection of texts for girls, and included two novels. But her reputation is founded on A Vindication of the Rights of Woman of 1792. This treatise is the first great document of feminism—and is now accepted as a core text in western tradition. It is not widely known that the germ of Wollstonecraft’s great work came out of an earlier and much shorter vindication—A Vindication of the Rights of Men (1790), written in the context of the issues raised by the French Revolution. This edition, which follows the model of other Broadview Editions in including a range of materials that help the reader to see the work in the context of its era out of which it emerged, is arranged chronologically, opening with Wollstonecraft’s “other vindication.” It also includes a wide range of other documents in appendices, as well as a comprehensive and authoritative introduction, chronology, and full index.

Excerpt: ... cover that the game did not deserve the chace, we find that we have gone over much ground, and not only gained many new ideas, but a habit of thinking. The exercise of our faculties is the only solid advantage, but not the goal we had in view when we started with such eagerness. It would be straying still further into metaphysics to add, that this is one of the strongest arguments for the natural immortality of the foul.--Every thing looks like a means, nothing like an end, or point of rest, when we can fay, now let us sit down and enjoy the present moment; our faculties and wislie6 are proportioned to the present scene; we may return without repining to our sister clod. And, if no conscious dignity whispers that we are capable of relishing more refined pleasures, the thirst of truth is. allayed; and thought, the faint type of an immaterial energy, no longer bounding it knows, not where, is confined to she tenement that affords affords it sufficient variety.--The rich mast may then thank his God that he is not like other men--but when is retribution to be made to the miserable, who cry day and night for help, and there is no one at handto help them? Not only misery but immorality proceeds from this stretch of arbitrary authority. The vulgar have not the power of emptying their mind of the only ideas they imbibed whilst their hands were employed; they cannot quickly turn from one kind of life to another. Pressing them entirely unhinges them; they acquire new habits, and cannot return to their eld occupations with their former readiness; consequently they fall into idleness, drunkenness, and the whole train of vices which you stigmatise as gross. The government that acts in this manner cannot be called a good parent, nor inspire...
