Edmund Burke

Edmund Burke ([éd-mund bĕk]; 12 Januari [NS] 17299 Julai 1797) ialah seorang negarawan, penulis, pemidato, pakar teori politik dan ahli falsafah kelahiran Dublin, Ireland.Clark 2001, p. 25: "Edmund Burke was an Irishman, born in Dublin but in an age before 'Celtic nationalism' had been constructed to make Irishness and Englishness incompatible: he was therefore free also to describe himself, without misrepresentation, as 'a loyalist being loyal to England' to denote his membership of the wider polity. He never attempted to disguise his Irishness (as some ambitious Scots in eighteenth-century England tried to anglicise their accents), did what he could in the Commons to promote the interests of his native country and was bitterly opposed to the Penal Laws against Irish Catholics." Beliau menjadi ahli parlimen United Kingdom mewakili Parti Whig dalam Dewan Rakyat Great Britain antara tahun-tahun 1766 dan 1794.
