Political and experience

The thirteen essays in this collection have all been specially written to mark the retirement of Professor Michael Oakeshott from the Chair of Political Science at the London School of Economics. The central theme of these essays is political philosophy, especially in its concern with tradition and revolution, ideology and rationalism, but also in its wider relations with history, literature and education. These topics reflect Professor Oakshott's most characteristic interests, but the essays themselves are independent and original studies. The volume includes essays by W. H. Walsh, William H. Dray, R. S. Peters, M. M. Goldsmith, W. H. Greenleaf, Sheldon S. Wolin, B. C. Parekh, J. G. A. Pocock, Samuel Coleman, K. R. Minogue, Dorothea Krook, Preston King and Donald David.
