Negative Positive
Title: For academics only. Boring academics, that is.
Review: Strictly for academic Oakeshott scholars, and surely put together to impress only them. Clunkily written, pedantic, and of no use whatsoever for the general reader, or even the non-academic Oakeshott fan.Sample, but utterly typical, passage:"The suggestions that I have just made, that Oakeshott changes some fundamental elements of his philosphy and that among those changes is a different, more open understanding of the relationship of philosophy and practice, go against the grain of most Oakeshott scholarship."I don't know about you, but he's sure got my head spinning, my heart pounding, and my mind wanting to read more, more.
Is the review positive or negative?
