So Ian Harris's selection of pre-1790 Burke is particularly welcome....the extensive notes and bibliography will be useful to students, and the volume as a whole is very welcome.\"   Ethics\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eThis is the first collection of the writings of Edmund Burke which precede Reflections on the Revolution in France, and the first to do justice to the connections and breadth of Burke's thought. A thinker whose range transcends formal boundaries, Burke has been highly prized by both conservatives and liberals, and this new edition charts the development of Burke's thought and its importance as a response to the events of his day. Burke's mind spanned theology, aesthetics, moral philosophy and history, as well as the political affairs of Ireland, England, America, India and France, and he united these concerns in his view of inequality. In the writings in this edition Burke indicated how societies embodying revealed religion and social hierarchy could sustain civilisation and political liberty. These thoughts reached their apogee in Reflections on the Revolution in France. This edition provides the student with all the necessary information for an understanding of the complexities of Burke's thought. Each text is prefaced by a summary and notes to the texts elucidate the literary and historical references. An introduction and biographical and bibliographical essays help place these works in the context of Burke's thought as a whole.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Chronological table\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e A note on the texts\u003cbr\u003e Biographica\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e 'Extempore Commonplace on the Sermon of our Saviour on the Mount\u003cbr\u003e A Vindication of Natural Society\u003cbr\u003e A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful\u003cbr\u003e 'Religion'\u003cbr\u003e Tracts on the Popery Laws\u003cbr\u003e Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontents\u003cbr\u003e Conciliation with America\u003cbr\u003e 'Almas Ali Khan'\u003cbr\u003e 'Speech on the Army Estimates'\u003cbr\u003e Index of Persons\u003cbr\u003e Index of subjects and places.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: History of ideas [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History of ideas\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History%20of%20ideas%20%5BJFCX%5D%22\"\u003eJFCX\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46000587505944,"sku":"9780521368001","price":31.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521368001i_fa6c988a-1a22-4024-bfc3-1d3f125e7d5b.jpg?v=1691375795","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/pre-revolutionary-writings-paperback-9780521368001","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
