Books by Stuart Isaacs

Presents an examination of the slowly developing body of literature that has been published following Michael Oakeshott's death. This book considers the 'lesser-known' essays, as well as the various secondary appraisals of Oakeshott's work, which sets his thought in the contemporary political environment of the twenty-first century.

Focusing on the historical context in which political theorists have developed their thinking, this text addresses a series of major thinkers in the context of the English, French and Industrial revolutions. Their ideas are assessed with reference to the politics of their time to show how they responded to these political events and issues.
