: Everybody knows about the great influence Burke has exerted on the conservative political thought, : from the xixth c. to the american right in the 1950's and : even nowadays (see Connor Cruise O'Brien "Introduction" to Penguin's "Reflections" ed.). : But what about his influence on the left? : I've seem some burkean concepts such as "political : experience" present in Hannah Arendt "On Revolution" : ("The search of happiness" chapter) - maybe : they have reached her through Tocqueville; : that's ok. But I was really surprised when I realised that even E. P. Thompson : have some conceptual resemblances with Burke, especially in his critics on godwinean philosophy: dangerous to morals because : it give up the "traditions" (the godwineans : thought that man could be "perfectible" only through "reason"). : Im writing an article about these subjects - any suggestions about these topics : is very welcome. : Orlando Ferreira : Universidade Estadual de Campinas : Brasil
