Religious thought of Edmund Burke : ウィキペディア英語版 | Religious thought of Edmund Burke
The religious thought of Edmund Burke includes published works by Edmund Burke and commentary on the same. Burke's religious thought was grounded in his belief that religion is the foundation of civil society.〔Edmund Burke, ''Reflections on the Revolution in France'' (London: J. M. Dent & Sons, 1964), 87.〕 He sharply criticized deism and atheism, and emphasized Christianity as a vehicle of social progress. 〔Ian Harris, “Burke and Religion,” in David Dwan and Christopher J Insole eds., ''The Cambridge Companion to Edmund Burke'' (Cambridge University Press, 2012), 103.〕 Born in Ireland to a Protestant father and Catholic mother, Burke vigorously defended the Church of England but also demonstrated sensitivity to Catholic concerns. 〔 He linked the conservation of a state religion with the preservation of citizens’ constitutional liberties and highlighted Christianity’s benefits not only to the believer’s soul but also to political arrangements.〔Harris, 98.〕 == Early views ==
Edmund Burke’s early essays “Religion of No Efficacy Considered as a State Engine” and “Religion” criticize contemporary efforts to reduce religion to a social and political instrument.〔Edmund Burke, “Religion of No efficacy considered as a State Engine” in H.V.F. Somerset ed., ''A Note-book of Edmund Burke'' (Cambridge University Press, 1957), 67〕 “The Principle of Religion,” Burke wrote, “is that God attends to our actions to reward and punish them.” 〔''A Note-book'', 67.〕 Religion than, according to Burke, is ultimately something mysterious. 〔'A Note-book'', 68.〕 It cannot exist without a personal God who places responsibilities on his creation. 〔Edmund Burke, “Religion” in 'A Note-book'', 70.〕 Burke claimed that, “Moral Duties are included in Religion, and enforced by it. 〔Edmund Burke, “Religion”〕 Burke’s identification of religion as the source of morality is a reoccurring theme throughout his work. 〔Harris, 92.〕
