Summary

Oakeshott's memorable lectures on the history of political thought, delivered each year at the LSE, are now available in print for the first time as Volume II of his Selected Writings. The thirty lectures deal with Greek, Roman, mediaeval, and modern European political thought in a uniquely accessible manner. Scholars familiar with Oakeshott's work will recognize his own ideas subtly blended with an exposition carefully crafted for an undergraduate audience; those discovering Oakeshott for the first time will find an account of the subject that remains illuminating and provocative.
