柏克既是保守主义的先驱，又是一位浪漫主义者。他指出仅靠理性不足以规范人们的行为和维护社会的秩序与和谐，必须由承载着道德规范的传统思想与习俗来制约人们的欲望和冲动。他推崇审慎，亦即实践的政治理性，主张原则与权变、策略的结合。权变不可被用于邪恶的目的，审慎服务于道德自然法。但仅有原则，没有策略与机变就无法应对错综多变的政治形势。他反对将个人与社会割裂的个人主义，认为社会的生存和发展，每一个社会成员的福祉，都有赖于个体对于群体的依附和归属。柏克的政治思想不可避免地有着阶级的局限，但是对于处在社会急剧变迁时代的我国的政治改革仍不失启示。

Burke is a pioneer of conservatism and a romanticist. He pointed out that rational is not enough to regulate people＇s behavior and maintain social order harmony, there must be traditional ideas carrying the ethics to restrain their desires and impulses. He advocated prudence, the political practice reason, which is combined with expediency and strategy. The expediency cannot be used for evil purpose, prudence serves the moral natural law. He opposed the individualism with the fragment of individual and society, the survival and development of social well-being of every member depend on the individual attached to groups. There is class limit in Burke＇s political thought, but which still has significant relevance to our political reform.
