Description: Michael Oakeshott on the Human Condition contains sixteen essays that constitute Timothy Fuller's reflections over a period of forty-five years on Michael Oakeshott's understanding of the human condition, including his central ideas on politics, philosophy, religion, and conservatism. Fuller is arguably the most recognized Oakeshott scholar worldwide, and these essays express not only his profound insights into Oakeshott's writings but also of the man himself. This edition of Fuller's writings is a worthy complement to Oakeshott's works, offering a unique perspective into Oakeshott's thought and, perhaps, inspiring a new, younger audience for his works.
