This volume was compiled in 1968 to honour the retirement of the
eminent political philosopher Professor Michael Oakeshott.
Professor Oakeshott, widely regarded as one of the most important
conservative intellectuals of the twentieth century, understood the
need for political philosophy to conceive experience as a whole,
and accordingly sought to address politics both historically and
rationally. These essays engage with the common concerns of his
major works, opportunistically exploring the ideas of this great
thinker further. Moreover, they are a reflection of the
contributors' academic interests, variously discussing tradition,
the nature of political philosophy, ideology, revolution,
education, history and rationalism. As the essays contained within
are separate investigations of Oakeshott's ideas, they can be
enjoyed both in and out of sequence. This volume will be of value
to anyone with an appreciation of political philosophy and its
history, and indeed, with an interest in the ideas of Professor
Oakeshott himself.
