Jump to
Edmund Burke (12 January [NS] 1729 – 9 July 1797) was an Anglo-Irish politician, journalist and philosopher who is regarded as the founder of the social and cultural philosophy of conservatism. Regarded as one of the most influential conservative thinkers and writers, Burke spent the majority of his political career in Great Britain and was elected as a member of Parliament (MP) from 1766 to 1794 in the House of Commons of Great Britain with the Whig Party. His writings played a crucial role in influencing public views and opinions in both Britain and France following the 1789 French Revolution, and therefore he remains a major figure in modern conservative political circles.
