The Harvard Classics: Edmund Burke on Taste on the Sublime and Beautiful Reflections on the French Revolution a Letter to a Noble Lord
A lightly soiled Nearly Fine edition.
The Harvard Classics present a selection of Edmund Burke's writings on the sublime and beautiful. In "Reflections on the French Revolution," Burke argues that the French Revolution was not a successful attempt at liberty, but a mistake that will ultimately lead to the destruction of France. In "Taste," Burke examines the nature of taste and its relation to beauty. He argues that taste is not a matter of personal preference, but rather something that is inherent in the nature of things. These essays provide an insightful look at Burke's thought on the subject of taste, and are a valuable resource for students of philosophy and political science.; Vol. 24; 8vo; 421 pages.
