#2 Edmund Burke as Philosopher in Action with Professor Richard Bourke
What did it mean for Edmund Burke – the great philosopher-statesman of the 18th century – to wield principles in the thick of politics? How did his historical method inform his political theory and practical approach to institutional reform? In this podcast I speak with Cambridge Professor Richard Bourke about Edmund Burke’s complicated legacy as a “philosopher in action” and his many attempts to hold the British Empire accountable to the norms and standards of responsible government.
