The revolutionary guilt of John Adams -- Liberal tensions in Burke and Wollstonecraft -- Immanuel Kant : terrorist conservative -- Pius VI's statesmanship during the French Revolution |
| Summary |
Langan discusses the French Revolution from a variety of perspectives given by influential thinkers of the late 18th century. His thesis is that conservatism was forever changed by the French Revolution, and that conservatism's modern origins are in direct response to the revolution and its ideals as they were critically examined by Edmund Burke. As Langan argues, conservatives tend to adopt intellectual categories which if taken to their natural conclusions lead to liberal results |
