Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Michael Oakeshott on Religion, Aesthetics, and Politics
Elizabeth Campbell Corey · 2006
75/100
👍 Worth It
Corey's contribution is genuinely original — no one had previously written a book-length study of the religious and aesthetic roots of Oakeshott's conservatism, and her use of early unpublished material strengthens the argument considerably. This is a specialist text that assumes real familiarity with Oakeshott, so casual readers will find it impenetrable, but for political philosophers and Oakeshott scholars it fills a real gap with rigor.
