Reflections of the French Revolution Edmund Burke was very critical of the French Revolution. Burke was critical because he essentially was a traditionalist. He says‚ “By adhering in this manner and on those principles to our forefathers‚ we are guided not by the superstition of antiquarians‚ but by the spirit of philosophic analogy.” Burke doesn’t have any issues with the French wanting a revolution‚ he just believed they were going about it in the wrong way.
