Michael Oakeshott was a leading Political theorist described by The
Telegraph in 1990 as "the greatest political philosopher in the
Anglo-Saxon tradition since Mill - or even Burke". There has been
sustained interest in his work, and a developing body of
literature, over recent years. This book offers a clearly written
and accessible critical analysis: it presents complex theories and
concepts in a way that will introduce new readers to Oakeshott's
work, and at the same time offers a fresh approach for those
already familiar with his philosophy. The Politics and Philosophy
of Michael Oakeshott reveals how his work relates to contemporary
political philosophy (for example, Arendt, Rorty, Rawls); and
moreover, how it links to broader debates within philosophy and the
social sciences and, building upon the work of Devigne, through to
postmodernism. This book brings together the disparate influences
that have, at various times, been associated with Oakeshott's work,
and draws from a number of essays which have been published
posthumously. Referring to these, and other more well-known texts,
the author makes sense of the many dimensions of Oakeshott's work
by placing a moral concern as central to his system of thought. All
in all this book considers the recently published 'lesser-known'
essays as well as the latest secondary appraisals of Oakeshott's
work, which sets his thought in the contemporary political
environment of the twenty-first century. This much-needed text with
be of great interest to students and researchers in political
science and philosophy.
