Reader reviews for The Politics of Sex and Other Essays: On Conservatism, Culture and Imagination

From the publisher

These essays cover topics as radically diverse as Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Vclav Havel, The Magic Flute and Viz magazine. All have been published before, and many have already proved controversial. The author, a leading Oakeshott scholar, contributes frequently to the TLS . Witty, moving and erudite, his prose is also conspicuously graceful and clear. This collection is addressed as much to the educated general reader as to the academic specialist. It includes an otherwise almost unobtainable exchange with Sir Isaiah Berlin.

They deal with the threat to our cultural traditions offered by socialist hubris and liberal indifference, and (more optimistically) with culture's own spontaneous power of resistance, renewal and self-repair. Among the topics covered are 'concept production' in… Read more
