by Edmund Burke (Author)
""Thoughts on French Affairs"" is a political essay written by the famous Irish-British philosopher and politician, Edmund Burke. The book was originally published in 1791 and is a response to the French Revolution, which had just begun at the time. Burke was a staunch conservative and a critic of the revolutionary ideas that were spreading throughout Europe. In this book, he analyzes the causes and consequences of the revolution and argues that the French people were misguided in their attempt to overthrow the monarchy and establish a republic. He also discusses the dangers of radicalism and the importance of tradition and stability in society. The book is written in a persuasive and eloquent style, and it remains a classic work of political philosophy to this day.THIS 78 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Works Of Edmund Burke V4, by Edmund Burke.
