Edmund Burke Society (Australia)

This video is the introduction to The Edmund Burke Society (Australia) section of my channel. I have a master’s degree in philosophy. My thesis was Natural Law Conservatism: The Epistemological Foundations of the Political Philosophy of Edmund Burke. I will present papers analyzing and explicating Edmund Burke’s thought as well as commenting on political events from a Burkean perspective. Burke’s thought is as relevant to modern politics as it was to Great Britain in the 18th century. I will also show how Edmund Burke’s thought influences my non-fiction and fiction writing. More widely I will discuss Conservatism as a political philosophy and Burke's influence in it. The banner is of St Stephen’s Chapel, sometimes called the Royal Chapel of St Stephen, in the old Palace of Westminster. St Stephen’s Chapel served as the chamber of the House of Commons of Great Britain from 1547 to 1834. Edmund Burke was one of its most illustrious members.

I explain some of the most important ideas and concepts in Burke's thought by references to his work, including to some of the best-known quotations.
