Edmund Burke, Enlightenment, human nature, human reasonAbstract
For a long time, scholars have presented Edmund Burke as an enemy of the Enlightenment, stressing, inter alia, his skepticism towards human reason. This article analyzes Burke’s views concerning the relationship between human nature and human reason as described in his best-known work, Reflections on the Revolution in France. This will not only allow us to consider his opinions in this field but also to better understand his stance towards the Enlightenment.
