Una obra escrita en 1790 que estudia el estado de la Iglesia, la monarquía y la nobleza en Francia, en constante comparación con Inglaterra.

Burkes seminal work was written during the early months of the French Revolution, and it predicted with uncanny accuracy many of its worst excesses, including the Reign of Terror. A scathing attack on the revolutions attitudes to existing institutions, property and religion, it makes a cogent case for upholding inherited rights and established customs, argues for piecemeal reform rather than revolutionary change and deplores the influence Burke feared the revolution might have in Britain. Reflections on the Revolution in France is now widely regarded as a classic statement of conservative political thought, and is one of the eighteenth centurys great works of political rhetoric.

Si bien Edmund Burke (1729-1797) suele ser más conocido por su faceta como político y por los escritos en que fustigó el nacimiento de la política ideológica que culminó con la Revolución Francesa, como Reflexiones sobre la Revolucion en Francia, en su juventud tento el ambito filosofico, escribiendo su INDAGACION FILOSOFICA SOBRE EL ORIGEN DE NUESTRAS IDEAS ACERCA DE LO SUBLIME Y DE LO BELLO (1757). Texto que constituye una especie de isla en una obra dominada por la reflexion politica y considerado por algunos la promesa de un gran filosofo que no fue, la Indagacion ha alcanzado un estatus de referencia en la filosofia del arte. Su elocuente capacidad para entrelazar la filosofia y la psicologia en el analisis de lo sublime y de lo bello, al vincularlos al placer y al sufrimiento, sigue dando cuenta hoy como ayer del hecho enigmatico de nuestra experiencia estetica, al tiempo que aporta valiosos elementos de reflexion acerca de ella.

Edmund Burke was one of the foremost philosophers of the eighteenth century and wrote widely on aesthetics, politics and society. In this landmark work, he propounds his theory that the sublime and the beautiful should be regarded as distinct and wholly separate states the first an experience inspired by fear and awe, the second an expression of pleasure and serenity. Eloquent and profound, A Philosophical Enquiry is an involving account of our sensory, imaginative and judgemental processes and their relation to artistic appreciation. Burke's work was hugely influential on his contemporaries and also admired by later writers such as Matthew Arnold and William Wordsworth. This volume also contains several of his early political works on subjects including natural society, government and the American colonies, which illustrate his liberal, humane views.

Hombre sumamente implicado en la labor política cotidiana de su tiempo, EDMUND BURKE (1729-1797) es, junto con David Hume, unode los más destacados representantes de la corriente de pensamiento defensora de la utilidad del habito, la costumbre y el prejuicio enuna palabra, de la tradicion frente a la que propugnaba el racionalismo como guia suprema del quehacer humano y a los valores delpensamiento ilustrado. Como explica en su prologo Carlos Mellizo traductor y anotador asimismo del volumen, REFLEXIONES SOBRELA REVOLUCION EN FRANCIA (1789-1790), si bien ocasionada por un hecho historico muy concreto y dirigido a proteger el estilo degobierno ingles, conserva todavia hoy su vigencia y despierta creciente interes a causa de la coincidencia de sus postulados con losque son esenciales en el conservadurismo de todos los tiempos, lo que la convierte en un clasico indispensable de la filosofia politica.

«Es mucho más sencillo mantener una causa equivocada, y respaldar opiniones paradójicas para satisfacer a un auditorio vulgar, que establecer una verdad dudosa con argumentos sólidos y concluyentes.
