About the author

English philosopher and political theorist who wrote about philosophy of history, philosophy of religion, aesthetics, and philosophy of law. He is widely regarded as one of the most important conservative thinkers of the 20th century, although he has sometimes been characterized as a liberal thinker.
Oakeshott was dismayed by the descent into political extremism that took place in Europe in the 1930s, and his surviving lectures from this period reveal a dislike of National Socialism and Marxism.
In 1945, Oakeshott was demobilized and returned to Cambridge for two years. In 1947, he left Cambridge for Nuffield College, Oxford. After only a year, he secured an appointment as Professor of Political Science at the London School of Economics (LSE), succeeding Harold Laski. He was deeply unsympathetic to the student action at LSE that occurred in the late 1960s, on the grounds that it disrupted the aims of the university. Oakeshott retired from LSE in 1969.
Oakeshott refused an offer of Knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II, for which he was proposed by Margaret Thatcher.

Reviews

[Hailey · Rating 3 out of 5]

I simply don't agree with Oakeshott, which is alright. An important read if you plan on studying the rest of his political and educational philosophy.

[Nathan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing. A fully satisfactory review warrants more words than I can offer right now. But nearly every paragraph and sentence offer insights, often dispatching entire philosophical systems. The level of abstraction will make it difficult for most people. Readers interested in his thought, but don't have the intuitions to follow his words, may do well to considering reading George Berkeley, Michael Polanyi, or T.S. Eliot first.

Considering I plan to write a dissertation on this, I'll save the comments for later, when I can be more long-winded than usual.
