Abstract

Edmund Burke's political thought is known in Continental Eu-rope, mainly, through his Reflections on the Revolution in France. This book helped in qualifying him as a mere conservative thin-ker. However, the analysis of his political attitude supporting the claims of the American colonists during the previous years to the Declaration of Independence, along with his involvement in a debate on the historical and constitutional meaning of the Glorious Revolution, casts a new light on the complexity of his thought. It helps to clarify his radical assessment against the French Revolution and shows the liberal roots of his thought,even though founded on a communitarian view of the individual in society that put the emp-hasis in a short of liberty derived from the collective historical ex-perience of the British nation.
