Edmund Burke (1729-1797) was an Irish-born British statesman and philosopher. He rose to prominence as a Member of Parliament and is best known for his influential writings, especially “Reflections on the Revolution in France” (1790), which criticized the radical aspects of the French Revolution and championed the value of tradition and gradual reform. Burke’s political philosophy emphasized the importance of established institutions and the role of moral individuals in countering evil. He is considered a foundational figure in modern conservatism, and his famous quote, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,” remains widely cited.
