Short description:
A systematic and accessible presentation of the ideas of one of the leading British philosophers of the twentieth century.
MoreLong description:
Michael Oakeshott (1901-1990) was one of the leading British philosophers of the twentieth century. He has been influential particularly as a political philosopher, but his work reflects a range of philosophical interests that have more gradually come to be appreciated. In this volume a broad group of scholars offers a comprehensive overview of Oakeshott's philosophy, including his moral and political philosophy, his philosophy of history, science and aesthetics, and his views on the role of education. They analyse Oakeshott's ideas in different intellectual contexts and assess his overall contribution to twentieth-century thought. Accessible and rich with new scholarly material, this volume will be an excellent guide for students and scholars alike.
"This is the first of two companions to appear this year explicating and assessing the thought of the 20th-century English political philosopher Michael Oakeshott (1901-90), testimony to the increasing awareness of, and interest in, his work.... informative and useful.... Recommended..."
