It is no doubt that a revolution has happened with the election of Donald Trump as President of the Unites States. But what to make of this revolution? How can we understand what has happened, make sense of current events and prepare for what is coming? This collection introduces three major philosophical works which deal with ideas of revolution, rebellion, authority and freedom, presenting them in the context of current political events: Edmund Burke's "Reflections on the French Revolution", Karl Marx's "Communist Manifesto" and John Stuart Mill's "On Liberty". A reading of these works is indispensable for the thinker who wishes to engage with contemporary politics.
