Understanding the Tacit
My chum Steve Turner has a new book out. It has much Oakeshott interest and as many will know Steve has been a longstanding Oakeshott commentator. For me, one of his key articles is “Tradition and Cognitive Science: Oakeshott’s Undoing of the Kantian Mind”, a piece that I reference quite regularly. OK, so the book…

An Oakeshottian “intimation” of Gay Rights
With the Michael Oakeshott Association conference in a few days my thoughts turned to my late chum Ken Minogue. I haven’t had time to write up my recollections of Ken (but I will get to it).

Review of Michael Oakeshott on Religion, Aesthetics, and Politics
Efraim’s review of Elizabeth’s book. Michael Oakeshott was once known mainly as a thinker about politics. That this should have been so was in a certain sense unavoidable. Oakeshott held the chair of Political Science at the London School of Economics, taught the history of political thought, and published a few controversial essays on the…
Oakeshottian Modes at the Crossroads of the Evolution Debates
Here is the intro to Corey’s essay. Reading selectively through the spate of popular work on evolution and intelligent design by scientists and theists, as well as those such as Francis Collins who are both, one notes a strong current of bewilderment and annoyance with the “other side,” whoever that may be. (To Collins’s credit,…
Oakeshott on the Character of Religious Experience: Need There be a Conflict Between Science and Religion?
Here is the intro from Tim Fuller’s essay from Zygon. Michael Oakeshott rarely acknowledged specific intellectual debts. In Experience and Its Modes (1933), however, he cited as major influences on his thinking G. W. F. Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit (1807) and F. H. Bradley’s Appearance and Reality (1893). Oakeshott was invoking the tradition of Hegelian/British idealism,…
