Second Comment on Edmund Burke, Reflections on the Revolution in France

If the prudence of reserve and decorum dictates silence in some circumstances, in others prudence of a higher order may justify us in speaking our thoughts. Edmund Burke, "Reflections on the Revolution in France", 1.14 https://lnker.com/PigBD Burke's premise in writing this book is that while disclosing certain matters may lead to vigorous disagreements, not to disclose them is far more destructive of human society, for it prevents those charged with ameliorating the conditions of life from considering all of the options, which is the starting place for the best informed and most likely to be effective resolution of problems.
