Publisher Description This highly readable new collection of thirty pieces by Michael Oakeshott, almost all of which are previously unpublished, covers every decade of his intellectual career, and adds significantly to his contributions to the philosophy of historical understanding and political philosophy, as well as to the philosophy of education and aesthetics. The essays were intended mostly for lectures or seminars, and are consequently in an informal style that will be accessible to new readers as well as to those already well acquainted with Oakeshotts works. Early pieces include a long essay On the Relations of Philosophy, Poetry, and Reality, and Oakeshotts comments on The Cambridge School of Political Science through which he himself had passed as an undergraduate. This collection also reproduces a substantial wartime essay On Peace with Germany. There are two new essays on the philosophy of education, and the essay which gives the work its title, What is History?, is just one of over half a dozen discussions of the nature of historical knowledge. Oakeshotts later sceptical, hermeneutic, thought is also well represented by pieces such as What is Political Theory? and The Emergence of the History of Thought.Reviews of books by English and European contemporaries such as Butterfield, Hayek, Voegelin, and Arendt also help to place him in context more clearly than before. This book will be indispensable for all Oakeshotts readers, no matter which area of his thought concerns them most. Details ISBN 0907845835 ISBN-13 9780907845836 Title What is History?
