Features: In 1958, Michael Oakeshott delivered eight lectures at Harvard University on the moral and political relationship in modern Europe. This book compiles the content of these eight lectures. What sets Oakeshott apart is his exploration of two opposing viewpoints, which are rooted in two conflicting moral perspectives: one is individualistic, and the other is collectivist. Both moral perspectives have contributed to shaping the democratic institutions of modern Europe. This book is not only suitable for readers studying Oakeshott but also meets the needs of those who have a general understanding of political and moral theory. Reading this book allows you to experience Oakeshott's、 and get a glimpse of his academic views before they were fully formed.
