- W2337810079 abstract "Edmund Burke is widely acknowledged as one of the most astute students of the social psychology of revolutions. As JGA Pocock has shown, the concept of enthusiasm played a crucial role in Burke's analysis of the French Revolution, supplying him with a vocabulary with which to capture how the intellectual presumption of the French philosophes resulted in a dangerously unsociable subjectivism corrosive of social bonds. In this paper I complicate Pocock's account by tracing the career of enthusiasm in Burke's thought prior to the Revolutionary upheavals of the 1790s. I show that Burke initially defended enthusiasm as an instinctive passion that could 'elevate and expand reason' and provide the motivational impetus for countering corruption and misrule. This more positive valuation of enthusiasm is especially apparent in two moments in Burke's pre-revolutionary writings: first in his plea in to his fellow Whigs to draw on the spirit of enthusiasm in combating the abuse of executive power during the 'Wilkes and Liberty' controversy, and second, in his apology for the Irish rebels of the seventeenth century who had, Burke maintained, been wrongly accused by numerous English historians of revolting against English rule solely on the basis of a bigoted enthusiasm. Attending to Burke's complex relationship to enthusiasm, I argue, should also cause us to reconsider the charge of demophobia so frequently made against him." @default.
