Edmund Burke was the dominant political thinker of the last quarter
of the eighteenth century in England. His reputation depends less
on his role as a practising politician than on his ability to set
contemporary problems within a wider context of political theory.
Above all, he commented on change. He tried to teach lessons about
how change should be managed, what limits should not be
transgressed, and what should be reverently preserved. Burke's
generation was much in need of advice on these matters. The
Industrial Revolution, the American Revolution, and
catastrophically, the French Revolution presented challenges of
terrible proportions. They could promise paradise or threaten
anarchy. Burke was acutely aware of how high the stakes were. The
Reflections on the Revolution in France was a dire warning of the
consequences that would follow the mismanagement of change. ABOUT
