In this carefully reasoned work, discovered after Michael
Oakeshott's death in 1990 and here published for the first time,
the preeminent political philosopher describes the fundamental
dichotomy that has divided discussion of the role of government in
Europe since the Renaissance. Oakeshott exposes the weaknesses of
each opposing position and proposes a middle ground, incorporating
some scepticism and some faith. By general consensus, Oakeshott is
the most striking and original British political thinker of the
century...Anyone interested in the nature of politics and
government will find this book of interest, and many will want to
direct their senior students to it as an accessible introduction to
Oakeshott's thought.-William Christian, University of Guelph,
Perspectives on Political Science The Politics of Faith and the
Politics of Scepticism is concerned to trace the deepest and most
permanent features of the modern European political landscape over
the last five hundred years, and this it does in an original,
insightful, and frequently eloquent manner. We are fortunate that
the book has finally seen the light of day.-Paul Franco, Bowdoin
College, Political Theory We are grateful to the editor Tim Fuller
for making available this little gem that combines philosophical
insight and historical investigation in the exposure of the two
'styles' of modern European politics, without the elaborate prose
to which Oakeshott has accustomed his readers: the absence of the
typical flamboyant style that characterizes Oakeshott's published
works, enables us to grasp his line of thought in the making and
renders his arguments crystal clear...A sublime mememto.-Giovanni
Giorgini, Political Studies
