Edmund Burke: The Organic Theory of Society

by The Editor

Edmund Burke (1729-1797) is rightly considered the intellectual founder of modern conservatism. First rising to prominence as an MP, Burke established his enduring legacy with his Reflections of the Revolution in France (1790). Defending an organic, traditionalist, hierarchical society against philosophe radicalism, he urged Great Britain to wage war against revolutionary France. In his passage, he discusses his vision of a conservative social order. The great Tory wit Samuel Johnson once said of Burke, "You could not stand five minutes with that man beneath a shed while it rained, but you must be convinced you had been standing with the greatest man you had ever yet seen."
