Reflections On The Revolution In France is a political treatise written by Edmund Burke in 1790, in which he expresses his opposition to the French Revolution. The book is divided into three parts, each of which explores different aspects of the revolution and its impact on society.In the first part, Burke discusses the causes of the revolution and argues that it was the result of a misguided belief in abstract political theory rather than a respect for tradition and history. He also criticizes the French government for its failure to address the economic and social problems that led to the revolution.In the second part, Burke examines the events of the revolution, including the Reign of Terror and the execution of King Louis XVI. He argues that the revolutionaries were motivated by a desire for power rather than a concern for the welfare of the people, and that their actions were destructive and ultimately led to chaos.In the third part, Burke offers his vision for a better society, one that is based on a respect for tradition and the rule of law. He argues that society should be organized around a hierarchy of classes, with each class having its own responsibilities and duties.Throughout the book, Burke emphasizes the importance of tradition and the dangers of revolutionary change. He argues that society should be guided by a respect for the past and a recognition of the limitations of human knowledge and understanding. Reflections On The Revolution In France is considered one of the most important works of political philosophy in the English language and has had a significant impact on conservative thought.Is it possible I should? It appears to me as if I were in a great crisis, not of the affairs of France alone, but of all Europe, perhaps of more than Europe. All circumstances taken together, the French revolution is the most astonishing that has hitherto happened in the world. The most wonderful things are brought about, in many instances by means the most absurd and ridiculous, in the most ridiculous modes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
