Edmund Burke est un homme politique et philosophe irlandais, longtemps député à la Chambre des communes britannique, en tant que membre du parti whig. Il est resté célèbre pour le soutien qu'il a apporté aux colonies d'Amérique du Nord lors de leur accession à l'indépendance, ainsi que pour sa ferme opposition à la Révolution française, exprimée dans ses Reflections on the Revolution in France, qui fit de lui l'un des chefs de file de la faction conservatrice au sein du parti whig.

Burke est également l'auteur d'ouvrages de philosophie portant sur l'esthétique, et le fondateur de la revue politique Annual Register. Père du conservatisme moderne,, et important penseur libéral, il a aussi exercé une grande influence sur de nombreux philosophes comme Emmanuel Kant. Wikipedia
