Controversy on Human Rights between E. Burke and T. Paine
GREGOROVÁ, Markéta
This diploma thesis deals with the famous controversy concerning interpretation of the French Revolution between Thomas Paine and Edmund Burke.

The focus concentrates in the diverse interpretation of the concept of human rights with both authors.
