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.
