This book provides a comprehensive survey of Edmund Burke's historical
thought, a neglected area of both Burke scholarship and
historiography. Ranging from Burke's general conception of history to
his accounts of English, European, American, Irish and Asian-Muslim
history, this book offers much-needed depth and context to his
political life. Sora Sato illuminates Burke's ideas on civilisation
and world order with careful analysis of both his well-known
historical concepts, such as the ancient constitution of England and
the spirit of chivalry, as well as his lesser-known opinions on war
and the military. Written with clarity and precision, this book is an
invaluable reference for scholars of Burke, early modern European
history and political philosophy.
