Description
This book assesses the significance of Michael Oakeshott s political philosophy and his relationship to liberalism, both in theory and in practice. The essays coverage a range of different topics, including Oakeshott in relation to other thinkers like Hobbes, Strauss, Houellebecq, Berlin, and Aristotle; Oakeshott s thought in the context of countries like China and Poland; Oakeshott s thought on legal theory and policies relating to technology; and Oakeshott s liberal theory on its own. In the thirty-five years since Oakeshott died, interest in his work continues to grow. How Oakeshott s thought illuminates issues that have persisted since his time and have taken on new dimensions is an important investigation in the history of political thought.
