Argues that Irish philosopher and statesman Burke (1729-97) combined a generally conservative outlook with a recognition of the need for change through reform, and therefore saw the past as a guide for the future rather than an impediment to it. Also contends that Burke's ideas underlie a good part of today's political thought. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
