Edmund Burke

In this reading Burke seems to percieve human intellect as the means ot a just society. he states that " the pride of human intellect ,which, with all its defects, redundancies and errors is the collected reason of errors. That in a sense if people are properly educated and in his sende that would include undestanding of jusrisprudence and common humanity that it would lead to reason and with reason the society would function better. He seems to suggest that through reason a rational way to solve and explain conflicts exists. However it sems that he feels that those that stand out in intelectual feilds would be overtaken by those who are less knowledgable.
