Summary:

"Argues that Oakeshott's views on aesthetics, religion, and morality,
which she places in the Augustinian tradition, are intimately linked
to a creative moral personality that underlies his political
theorizing. Also compares Oakeshott's Rationalism to Voegelin's
concept of Gnosticism and considers both thinkers' treatment of
Hobbes to delineate their philosophical differences"--Provided by
