Description

Rationalism in Politics established the late Michael Oakeshott as the leading conservative political theorist in modern Britain. This expanded collection of essays astutely points out the limits of "reason" in rationalist politics and criticizes ideological schemes to reform society according to supposedly "scientific" or rationalistic principles that ignore the wealth and variety of human experience.

Timothy Fuller is Professor of Political Science at Colorado College.

In recognition of the deep history and culture of this island, Fullers Bookshop acknowledges the muwinina and palawa people, the traditional owners and custodians of the land upon which this shop is built.
