Michael Joseph Oakeshott was a British philosopher who significantly influenced conservative thought. He critiqued rationalism, emphasizing the importance of tradition and the rule of law in society. Oakeshott's works, such as 'Experience and its Modes' and 'Rationalism in Politics', argue for a pragmatic approach to politics and a civil association model of the state. His legacy continues to shape political theory and the understanding of conservative philosophy.
