Oakeshott’s Skepticism

Aryeh Botwinick, bullshit, harry frankfurt, oakeshott, skepticism

I’ve finally received a copy of Aryeh Botwinick’s book that I noted last year. The topic of Oakeshott’s scepticism has occupied Aryeh for a good decade now when he presented a paper at the inaugural conference of the MOA in 2001 entitled “Unifying Skeptical Motifs in Oakeshott’s Thought”. Thanks is due to none other than Harry “On Bullshit” Frankfurt for another major university press (Princeton) with a strong (analytical) philosophical catalogue running with the idea of publishing something on Oakeshott.
