About this listen

This highly understandable audiobook offers a contemporary interpretation of the political thought of Edmund Burke, drawing on his experiences to illuminate and address fundamental questions of politics and society that are of particular interest today. In Edmund Burke for Our Time, Byrne asserts that Burke's politics is reflective of unique and sophisticated ideas about how people think and learn, and about determinants of political behavior.

The book is published by Northern Illinois University Press, an imprint of Cornell University Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.

Critic reviews

"Byrne's prose is highly readable, and his reading of Burke both plausible and illuminating." (National Review)

"An analysis of Burke that is both weighty enough for the expert, and accessible to general readers." (Michael P. Federici, Mercyhurst College)

"This is a timely and provocative contribution, not only to Burke studies, but to contemporary political thought, and recent intellectual history in the United States." (Ian Crowe, Director of the Edmund Burke Society of America)
