Edmund Burke |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| The British philosopher and statesman Edmund Burke has often been called the father of modern conservatism. His thought in fact ranges widely over many areas, notably aesthetics, and his prosecution of the British colonial administrator Warren Hastings showed him to be a capable man of affairs. He sympathized with the struggle of America to achieve freedom from English rule. However, he achieved lasting fame through his attack on the excesses of the French Revolution in his Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790). | ||||||
