"Anyone read books by Michael Oakeshott? What do you think of him?"
I have read some of his stuff. The style of writing is a bit difficult, but
well worth the effort if one wants an alternative to much of the stuff one
finds in political philosophy. I particularly like the 'ship of state'
metaphor that he develops. "Rationalism in Politics" is an essay worth
reading. A good antidote for both neo-conservativism and contemporary
liberal thought.
Sincerely,
Phil Enns
