Oxford Conservative Thought Reading Group, Week 1 (Empiricism and Conservatism)
The Oxford Conservative Thought (OCT) Reading Group is a non-partisan group devoted to academic exploration of small-c conservative political thought.
We welcome, and actively encourage, viewpoint diversity and constructive engagement across ideological divides (all good-willed participants are welcome!)
Each week we read one assigned text, and we recommend more for anyone who is very keen!
You can view our reading list here: docs.google.com/document/d/1-FnMPnWCQm3urAvD38jjRQkTEGA2EuSSjZjWm41Eszw/edit?usp=sharing
Week 1 focuses on the relationship between ‘empirical’ modes of reasoning and a conservative approach to politics, including the conservative critique of ‘rationalism’, with readings from Oakeshott.
The OCT meets weekly in term time on Fridays from 4-5:30pm.
Please register here to attend and we’ll send you the details of the room!
