"The Vocabulary of a Modern European State" is the companion volume
to "The Concept of a Philosophical Jurisprudence" and completes the
enterprise of gathering together Oakeshott's previously scattered
essays and reviews. As with all the other volumes in the series it
contains an entirely new editorial introduction explaining how the
writings it contains find their place in his work as a whole. It
covers the years 1952 to 1988, the period during which Oakeshott
wrote his definitive work, "On Human Conduct". The essay from which
the volume takes its title was intended as a companion piece to the
third part of the latter work, and is just one of over sixty pieces
that it includes. The volume draws together critical responses to
works by major philosophers, historians, and political theorists of
his own generation such as Bertrand de Jouvenel, Herbert Marcuse,
and Michael Polanyi as well as to some major figures of current
scholarship such as Quentin Skinner and Roger Scruton.
