  • "Tras la publicación del primer volumen de las Lecciones de Historia del Pensamiento Político, presentamos ahora su continuación. Bajo la rúbrica de El carácter del Estado Europeo Moderno se agrupa la segunda parte de las Lecciones impartidas por M. Oakeshott en la London School of Economics, cuyo objeto principal es explicar cómo surge la experiencia política conocida como Estado en la Europa moderna y las circunstancias que lo rodean. Al igual que en el primero de los dos volúmenes que componen esta serie de Lecciones, Oakeshott va a continuar empleando el término ±experiencia como concepto sobre el que vertebra su explicación. En este caso, y a diferencia del volumen anterior, solo dará cuenta de una experiencia: el Estado de la Europa Moderna. Es esta realidad, el Estado, y su contexto, la Europa Moderna, lo que va a constituir el foco de su explicación. Como en casi todos sus escritos, tanto anteriores como posteriores a los años en los que ocupó la Cátedra de Ciencia Política en la LSE, si hay algo que podamos destacar a priori es la originalidad y la capacidad de sugerencia de su interpretación. Bien por su condición de historiador que analiza la realidad política o bien por su personalísima interpretación de la realidad estatal, Oakeshott es capaz de presentarnos un fenómeno bien conocido, y estudiado, el nacimiento del Estado Moderno, de una forma creativamente novedosa."@es
  • ""This new collection of thirty unpublished pieces covers every decade of Michael Oakeshott's career and adds to his contributions to the philosophy of historical understanding, political philosophy and the philosophy of education and aesthetics. The essays are in an informal style that will be accessible to new readers as well as those already acquainted with Oakeshott's works."--Jacket."

Scholars familiar with Oakeshott's work will recognize his own ideas subtly blended with an exposition carefully crafted for an undergraduate audience; those discovering Oakeshott for the first time will find an account of the subject that remains illuminating and provocative."
