Burke's seminal work was written during the early months of the French Revolution, and it predicted with uncanny accuracy many of its worst excesses, including the Reign of Terror. A scathing attack on the revolution's attitudes to existing institutions, property and religion, it makes a cogent case for upholding inherited rights and established customs, argues for piecemeal reform rather than revolutionary change - and deplores the influence Burke feared the revolution might have in Britain. Reflections on the Revolution in France is now widely regarded as a classic statement of conservative political thought, and is one of the eighteenth century's great works of political rhetoric.
Conor Cruise O'Brien's introduction examines the contemporary political situation in England and Ireland and its influence on Burke's point of view. He highlights Burke's brilliant grasp of social and political forces and discusses why the book has remained so significant for over two centuries.

Edmund Burke nasceu em 12 de janeiro de 1729 na cidade de Dublin (Irlanda), e faleceu em Beaconsfield (Reino Unido) no dia 9 de julho de 1797. Filósofo e político anglo-irlandês, antes de escrever Reflexões sobre a Revolução na França, dedicou-se a um tratado de estética: A philosophical inquiry into the origin of our ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful [Uma investigação filosófica sobre a origem de nossas ideias do Sublime e do Belo], ainda sem edição em português, e a outros textos conhecidos por serem da fase pré-revolucionária. |
