What is Reflections on the revolution in France and on the proceedings in certain societies in London relative to that event about?

<p><b>Edmund Burke’s</b> <i>Reflections</i> <i>on the Revolution in France</i> (1790) is the undisputed foundation of modern conservatism. It is a brilliant pamphlet against the French Revolution, one rooted in the solid ground of a <i>practical</i> political philosophy. Burke’s central argument is that the French Revolution was driven by a <i>utopian</i> egalitarianism, which was dangerously disconnected from the actual experience of politics. A conservative, he grants centrality to the practical rationality of existing socio-political traditions and institutions, criticizes radical changes at all costs, and advocates gradual political reforms.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>“But what is liberty without wisdom, and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tradition or restraint.”— Edmund Burke</p>
