W. WINDHAM AND THE CONTROVERSY IN THE WHIG PARTY AROUND THE FRENCH REVOLUTION (1792-1793 YEARS)
View through CrossRef
В ходе партийной полемики вокруг Французской революции к 1793 г. в Англии сформировалась «третья партия» между оппозиционными вигами и возглавлявшими правительство тори. «Третья партия» представлена вигами, сторонниками Э. Бёрка (Уильям Уиндхэм, Уильям Эллиот, Филип Лоуренс, герцог Портленд и другие), и занимала воинствующие позиции по отношению к Франции. Мы рассмотрели взгляды лидера данной фракции – У. Уиндхэма и пришли к выводу, что он лишь избирательно использовал идеи своего учителя Э. Бёрка. Уиндхэм не стремился обратиться к политэкономическим рассуждениям мыслителя, к его юридической аргументации и тонкому анализу политической ситуации. Напротив, политик сделал ставку на привлечение популярных идей о международном якобинском заговоре против христианства, обратился к образам врага и призвал консолидировать силы вокруг правительства. Тем самым, основоположник идеологии консерватизма оказывался в политическом одиночестве, тогда как британская политика в отношении Франции в тот период двигалась совершенно иными мотивами. Нами также была проанализирована эволюция взглядов Уиндхэма, его сближение с Бёрком, а затем и расхождение с ним.
During the party controversy around the French Revolution, by 1793 year, a “third party” had formed in England between the opposition Whigs and the Tories leading the government. The “third party” is represented by Whigs, supporters of E. Burke (William Wyndham, William Elliot, Philip Lawrence, Duke of Portland and others), and took militant positions towards France. We examined the views of the leader of this faction, W. Windham, and came to the conclusion that he selectively used the ideas of his mentor E. Burke.

Title: W. WINDHAM AND THE CONTROVERSY IN THE WHIG PARTY AROUND THE FRENCH REVOLUTION (1792-1793 YEARS)
Description:
В ходе партийной полемики вокруг Французской революции к 1793 г.
в Англии сформировалась «третья партия» между оппозиционными вигами и возглавлявшими правительство тори.
«Третья партия» представлена вигами, сторонниками Э.
Бёрка (Уильям Уиндхэм, Уильям Эллиот, Филип Лоуренс, герцог Портленд и другие), и занимала воинствующие позиции по отношению к Франции.
Мы рассмотрели взгляды лидера данной фракции – У.
Уиндхэма и пришли к выводу, что он лишь избирательно использовал идеи своего учителя Э.
Бёрка.
Уиндхэм не стремился обратиться к политэкономическим рассуждениям мыслителя, к его юридической аргументации и тонкому анализу политической ситуации.
Напротив, политик сделал ставку на привлечение популярных идей о международном якобинском заговоре против христианства, обратился к образам врага и призвал консолидировать силы вокруг правительства.
Тем самым, основоположник идеологии консерватизма оказывался в политическом одиночестве, тогда как британская политика в отношении Франции в тот период двигалась совершенно иными мотивами.
Нами также была проанализирована эволюция взглядов Уиндхэма, его сближение с Бёрком, а затем и расхождение с ним.
