Description
Originally published in 1756, this is Burke’s first important publication. In it he attacks the views of Lord Bolingbroke, who exalted the claims of natural religion by pointing out the unfortunate results stemming from religious creeds. During the same period, Rousseau had promoted his thesis that a simple society close to nature was morally superior to the refined society of Europe.
