Couverture du Edmund Burke: Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontents (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (ePUB)

The immediate cause of this 1770 tract was the violent controversy surrounding a radical member of parliament, John Wilkes, but Burke’s commentary transcended this subject to grapple with more enduring questions of the proper apportionment of power, under the spirit of the British constitution, between king and parliament.

A propos de l’auteur

Edmund Burke (1729-1797) was a British political philosopher and member of parliament. He is regarded as the founder of modern conservatism. A champion of liberty, Burke advocated redress for the American colonists in their disputes with the Crown, and supported the aims of the American Revolution, but he was a early and eloquent opponent of the French Revolution.
