Title: David Hume Condition: New Subtitle: Prophet of the Counter Revolution, 2nd Edition Author: Laurence Bongie Format: Paperback ISBN-10: 0865972095 EAN: 9780865972094 ISBN: 9780865972094 Publisher: Liberty Fund Inc Genre: Biography Topic: Law & Politics Release Date: 01/01/2000 Description: Though Edmund Burke is usually identified as the first to articulate the principles of a modern conservative political tradition, he was actually preceded by a Scotsman who is better known for espousing a brilliant concept of scepticism. David Hume was undoubtedly the eighteenth-century British writer whose works were most widely known and acclaimed on the Continent during the later Enlightenment period. Hume's impact (in France) was of undeniable importance, greater even for a time than the related influence of Burke, although it represents a contribution to French counter-revolutionary thought which, unlike that of Burke, has been almost totally ignored by historians to this day.
