Abstract

Interest in Michael Oakeshott's political philosophy has been growing for a generation, since the publication of the original edition of his Rationalism in Politics (1962), a collection of essays dating from 1947 to 1960. Few then were aware of Experience and Its Modes (1933), a book that has since become the subject of much attention as the desire to understand Oakeshott's work as a whole has grown. With the publication of On Human Conduct (1975), Oakeshott gave us the work he hoped would confirm his place in the tradition of British political thought going back to Hobbes. Of course, his notable essays on Hobbes are now available in Hobbes on Civil Association (2000).
