Interestingly enough, Edmund Burke, while opposing the French Revolution, was one of the staunchest supporters in Parliament of the American Revolution. So why this apparent contradiction? Simply because of this: he realized that the French Revolution would eventually culminate in tyranny, because it was founded upon pure democracy, whereas in the case of the American Revolution, he foresaw no such consequence, as it tended more towards the republican system of government.
@@ejmiller1925 yeah the American revolution only allowed rich land owning white men to vote. It’s also hard to say how the French Revolution would’ve gone had not the entirety of Europe immediately declared war on France.

Guys my exam is few days ago and I don't read anything because my relative is dead so can u tell me what should I read Edmund Burke are charls lamb 😢😢😢😢😢both r very complicated 😢😢😢😢
I think Burke was very wrong in a lot of ways about what men and women could and could not decide for themselves were right. Respect for authority? Why does the aristocracy have the right to command the respect they think they deserve? Why does the common person need to heed these commands? Who decided who is aristocrat and who is not? How can a person have liberty when he is asked to respect a person he doesn't respect? What sort of freedom is this? Questions like these have either not been answered or have very unsatisfactory answers. I believe a system of government we have today in most of the Western world still asks for the respect of the people (think churches and the government), but it won't violate the liberty of a person should he decide to oppose the government. Every person is equal in value and has the same voice (which is why celebrities and rich folk are bad for our society). That is liberty, that is freedom. The way Burke sees it, we are oppressed forever.
An aristocrat who benefited from social hierarchy and property rights and spent his cushy life as a high statesman in an parliamentary monarchy, advocates for parliamentary monarchy, social hierarchy, and property rights. He also took some time away from his daybed and grapes to write about how the French are going about revolution the wrong way.
Are you trying to suggest that because 'A' benefits from 'B' things, anything 'A' writes about 'B' is automatically rendered incoherent or untrustworthy? If so, just say it. Because taking arguments on their merit is so old-fashioned and redundant. *yawn* Another infantile comment from someone who probably just got done reading the communist manifesto or capital, feeling the need to highlight how ostensibly clever they are, yet failing terribly. I have to applaud the air of authority imbued in your comment though.

Not at all! If that is what you got from this video, I encourage you to find other sources on Burke. Hobbes believed that absolutism was necessary. Burke firmly rejected absolutism. He believed that tradition should be respected, and change should be gradual, but he is a far cry from Hobbes.
Your videos are carrying me through my political philosophy course. Thank you

Thats a bad translation! Postmodernist argue against metaphysics, and also against principals! Itrs rather modern then postmodern.
Very good! The world desperately needs this kind of classical education.

Taking an international ethics course this semester and man do I love political philosophy. I feel more engaged with my readings! Great video btw!

Burke's conclusions were obviously of his time, but history has proven his principles to be unassailibly wise.
How so?
Says you. We're not all conservatives, Azraiel.
Yeah, I'm sure the people of France wish they were still peasant farmers, and had a King, Aristocracy, and landed gentry.

Fantastic! Thank you very much! 😃❤ Kina from Sweden

We need more Burkes nowadays

thank you sooooo muchhh for this ..doing my political philosophy final and this helped a lot
You’re amazing. I appreciate you

Good stuff, we don't get this kind of education in America education
You do, just take a political science class or a humanities class on the topic of the radical thinkers of the west.
I just realized I find myself watching this on Bastille Day. haha
Great video.
Thank you very much
Great classic education . Thanks
Great video, thanks !

This is the most hypnotically boring thing on TH-cam. I listen to this every night to gently fall asleep.
I think there's a 2 hour video of

Burke was right.
In a few ways. In many ways no.
Burke was wrong about one thing: no human has a divine right to rule over others.
I think Burke was very wrong in a lot of ways about what men and women could and could not decide for themselves were right. Respect for authority? Why does the aristocracy have the right to command the respect they think they deserve? Why does the common person need to heed these commands? Who decided who is aristocrat and who is not?

Just because you don't have the answers doesn't mean there are not. It is your philosophical duty to look for them.

Well I mean, can you honestly call the French revolution a success(minus abolition, which was pretty based)?

Nice set of teeth.
ohhh nyooo don't attack aristocracy haha
Philosophers I dislike: Augustine of Hippo, Averroes, Confucius, Machiavelli, Thomas Hobbes and now this Edmund Burke
Nobody cares
Burke has the reasonable and closed minded views of an old man, basically, lol.
How can he be reasonable and closed minded at the same time?
