Trimçev, Eno

Pages: 11 –30

Carrino, Agostino

Li, Haosheng

Marques de Almeida, Carlos

Pages: 67 –75

Chapter 6The Art of the Scholar: Oakeshott’s Conservative Account of Liberal Learning

Hörcher, Ferenc

Pages: 77 –88

[There is an overlap between the activity of the politician and that of the scholar, both of them being engaged in a certain form of tradition-based activity. Oakeshott’s description of the figure of the scholar is in fact a counterpoint to that of the rationalist. Beyond a professional...

Chapter 9Authority: Fragments of the Good Regime

Molnár, Attila K.

Pages: 127 –141

Chapter 10‘That Spirit of Quiet’: Oakeshott, Keats and Sontag Towards a Philosophy of Silence

Langstaff, Alexander

Pages: 143 –157

[Though it fills the better part of our lives, the conduct of silence is elusive in the oeuvre of most philosophers. To find it, one must search for corollaries that fill conceptual interstices. This chapter positions Oakeshott, better known for his valorization of conversation, as a major...
