ABSTRACT

We now move on to Part II, where I aim to set out how it is that what Oakeshott has to say about politics and morality are intertwined. This chapter is concerned with an elucidation of practical experience and the place of morality and religion within that world of experience. The account of practice given here is taken from EM. I shall combine the views set out in this text with Oakeshott’s initial writings on morality and religion. These articles had been tucked away in the dark recesses of obscure journals. However, thanks to the interest in Oakeshott’s work in North America they have been published as collected essays.1
