Features: In 1958, Michael Oakeshott delivered eight lectures on the moral and political relationship in modern Europe at Harvard University. This book compiles the content of these eight lectures. Oakeshott's unique contribution lies in exploring the two conflicting moral perspectives underlying two opposing viewpoints from a moral standpoint. One is the moral perspective of individualism, and the other is the moral perspective of collectivism. 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 gain a glimpse of his academic views before they were fully formed.
