Ian Gilmour and One Nation Conservatism
This article examines the place of Ian Gilmour (1926-2007) within the “One Nation” conservative tradition. First, it examines possible definitions of “One Nation” conservatism, rejecting claims that one can fully find its origins in the writings of career of Benjamin Disraeli, or that the ideology is so wide and amorphous that it can encompass Thatcherism as well as those more sympathetic to state aid for the poor. Rather it suggests that to capt…
Michael Oakeshott and Hans-Georg Gadamer on Practices, Social Science, and Modernity
This article compares Michael Oakeshott and Hans-Georg Gadamer, in particular examining the different ways they conceptualise human practices and the relationship between theory and practice. First, I highlight where the two agree. Both are sceptical of causal explanations of human behaviour, and instead advocate understanding human conduct intersubjectively, using Aristotle's concept of ‘practical wisdom’. Second, however, I also highlight impor…
The Impact of Positivism: Academic Political Thought in Britain, c . 1945–1970
This article examines the nature of academic political theory in Britain in the post-war period, examining in particular the degree to which theorists were able to mount normative theoretical arguments.

First, i…
Varieties of Positivism in Western European Political Thought, c . 1945–1970: An Introduction
This article introduces a set of essays examining the state of political thought in the Western European democracies of Britain, France, West Germany, Italy and Sweden in the post-war period between 1945 and 1970. In particular, as well as simply filling a gap, they seek to demonstrate that political theory in this period was more vibrant than has traditionally been maintained. A key part of this argument is that the discipline was less adversely…

The Greenian Moment: T.H. Green, Religion and Political Argument in Victorian Britain
The Greenian Moment: T.H. Green, Religion and Political Argument in Victorian Britain, by DENYS P. LEIGHTON (Exeter: Imprint Academic, 2004; pp. 376. £25) IF T.H. GREEN was traditionally identified as an important intellectual figure of the middle and late Victorian period, until relatively recently it was still common for scholars writing about him to apologise for devoting attention to such an outmoded thinker. For despite the increased attenti…
