Anglo-Irish statesman and political philosopher (1729–1797) widely regarded as the father of modern conservatism. His Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790) articulated the conservative case for gradual reform over revolutionary upheaval and profoundly shaped right-of-centre political thought for two centuries.
