Synopsis
According to a modern German scholar, Hans Barth, the most important political thinker of recent centuries is Edmund Burke; for Burke, more than anyone else, understood that social order depends upon a healthy tension between the claims of order and the claims of freedom. Burke was a practical politician, and yet far more than a practical politician. Also Edmund Burke was a courageous, honest, and attractive man. Alice P. Miller presents a lively and moving portrait of him - the more valuable because the details of his life have been difficult since Burke himself gives us few details about his personal existence in the volumes of his correspondence. This book will be valuable to both adults and to the rising generation.
