    This volume brings together a diverse range of perspectives reflecting the international appeal and multi-disciplinary interest that Oakeshott now attracts. The essays offer a variety of approaches to Oakeshott’s thought — testament to the abiding depth, originality, suggestiveness and complexity of his writings. The essays include contributions from well-known Oakeshott scholars along with ample representation from a new generation. As a collection these essays challenge Oakeshott’s reputation as merely a ‘critic of social planning’.

    Contributors include Josiah Lee Auspitz, Debra Candreva, Wendell John Coats Jr., Douglas DenUyl, George Feaver, Paul Franco, Richard Friedman, Timothy Fuller, Robert Grant, Eric S. Kos, Leslie Marsh, Kenneth Minogue, Terry Nardin, Keith Sutherland, Martyn Thompson and Gerhard Wolmarans.

    The essays presented in The Intellectual Legacy of Michael Oakeshott take the reader on a delightful journey of the mind. They reveal with clarity and circumspection the profound genius of a humble philosopher whose thought transcended his brilliant critique of  ‘Rationalism’ and his seminal “treatment of civil associations.” The book is must reading for anyone interested in philosophical studies, who understands that “human experience is inescapably conditional.”  Bob Cheeks, Intellectual Conservatism

    "This collection marks a turning point in the study of Oakeshott."  Luke O'Sullivan, British Journal for the History of Philosophy
