Edmund Burke
Den brittiske juristen, politikern och litteratören Edmund Burke (17291797) är känd som konservatismens fader och som förespråkare för det gamla samhället och dess eliter. Han författade inflytelserika skrifter och höll känslostarka och uppmärksammade tal inom estetik och politisk idédebatt. Den franska revolutionen samt Irlands, de amerikanska koloniernas och Indiens situationer engagerade honom särskilt. Bevara genom att förändra, skrev han, och gjorde stora insatser inom nya reform- och liberaliseringsfrågor, aktualiserade av tidens ekonomiska omvälvningar. Carl Johan Ljungberg är stats- och litteraturvetare, verksam som skribent
Edmund Burke: Konservatismens Profet
Hysteriker med forfølgelsesvanvid, reaktionær parlamentariker eller profetisk intellektuel? Edmund Burke var en ledende politisk tænker i 1700-tallet og regnes for konservatismens fader. Men Burkes værk er modsætningsfyldt og svært at forstå - og han bruges og citeres ofte upræcist. I Edmund Burke. Konservatismens profet tager professor Claus Bryld livtag med Burkes komplekse forfatterskab for at forstå, hvordan Burke kunne tordne imod demokrati og rationalisme, men samtidig tale for religiøs tolerance og bekymre sig for minoriteter. Burke præsenteres i lyset af sin egen brydningsfulde samtid, og centralt i bogen står hans voldsomme opgør med den franske revolution og den efterfølgende epokegørende debat om menneskerettighederne, som han førte med Thomas Paine. Siden 1950'erne har Burke oplevet en renæssance, og analysen trækkes derfor op til i dag, hvor Burkes filosofi er blevet brugt til at legitimere vidt forskellige politiske holdninger, fra Margaret Thatcher til Tony Blair.
