Oakeshott, Michael, 1901-1990

On human conduct / Michael Oakeshott. - Oxford : Clarendon Press, c1975. - 329 p. ; 22 cm.

Includes index.

1. On the theoretical understanding of human conduct --
2. On the civil condition --
3. On the character of a modern European state.

Running through the work is Professor Oakshott's belief in philosophical reflection as an adventure: the adventure of one who seeks to understand in other terms what he already understands, and where the understanding is sought is a disclosure of the conditions of the understanding enjoyed and not a substitute for it.
