Abstract:
|
This paper attempts to understand seeming inconsistencies in Edmund Burke's thought through his use of the emotions. Burke is suspicious of rational appeals to natural rights, arguing instead that it is safer politically speaking to mitigate the effects of rights claims through the emotions of a particular people. |
