Tonight, we drift into the thoughtful realms of Michael Oakeshott, absorbing his reflections on the delicate balance between tradition and individual autonomy in political life. As we traverse the quiet shadows of his philosophy, we explore the belief that true governance gracefully dances between past wisdom and the subtle art of personal understanding. Oakeshott dismisses hasty changes in favor of respecting the organic evolution of society, painting a landscape where progress is a gentle stream, not a disruptive torrent. Let us unwind to the soft whispers of continuity and mindfulness, where the echoes of tradition mingle with the tones of individual liberty.This episode is hosted by Jessica Morgan.
