S4 E18: The French Revolution and Its Critics
from Unlimited Opinions - Philosophy, Theology, Linguistics, & More · host Mark & Adam Bishop
"We're just gonna own it, and we're gonna start beating people up!" - Mark Bishop, 2022. In this episode, we look at how certain political thinkers responded to the French Revolution, particularly the conservatives Edmund Burke and Joseph de Maistre, the reformer Thomas Paine, and the proto-socialist Saint-Simon. We discuss how Burke invented the modern idea of revolution and his thoughts on representative government, Joseph de Maistre's will-crushing solution to the French Revolution, the mixed bag that is Thomas Paine, and much more! We also find some great new band names, go on several rants about fascism and drag queens, and end with a much longer episode than we anticipated!
