Individualism And Its Two Kinds Of Union

Oakeshott is an important philosopher and political philosopher of the twentieth century.His philosophy and political philosophy all have very unique ideas.Oakeshott's political philosophy is full of thinking about the nature of politics.Not appearing as a constructor of a system but as a political reflection to appear in the history of modern political thought.This paper attempts to present Oakeshott's political philosophy about personal freedom based on Oakeshott's personal political behavior,which is the theory of personal moral practice.Oakeshott's political philosophy has always faced the realities of European politics.The history of political thoughts in Europe and the political phenomena in modern Europe have been the subject of Oakeshott's investigation.In this investigation,Oakeshott discovered the individual who appeared with the modern history of Europe.The freedom of the individual is an important part of Oakeshott's political philosophy.Oakeshott is based on his philosophy to think of a political philosophy in individuals in modern politics.From the examination of the mode of practice in "Experience and its Model" to the thinking on the behavior pattern of the practitioner and the morality of the actor in "On Human Behavior",Oakeshott believes that the practitioner has moral consciousness,his Morality only comes from tradition,and the transactions between practitioners constitute different moral habits,and this practical moral habit is also an important foundation of Oakeshott's political philosophy.Oakeshott regards law as a kind of practical morality,and practical morality is the foundation of the Oakeshott consortium.The rule of law is an important part of the Oakeshott consortium.It is the individual's identity in the real political system.And the guidelines for compliance.Therefore,in Oakeshott's political philosophy,the individual's moral practice is the individual's political behavior,and the individual's self-determination in morality makes the individual have the greatest freedom in real politics.Oakeshott's personal union status is based on the rule of law and citizenship.In Oakeshott's view,the rule of law is based on the rules of people's recognition.The law here provides background and presupposed rules for people's political behavior.Instead of forcing rules that dictate people's behavior.He divides the consortium into a joint union of citizens and a career,and believes that individuals in the career union can achieve the greatest individual freedom.Although in reality these two kinds of unions are intertwined,this interweaving mix is also the tension of politics in modern Europe.Oakeshott's philosophy always contains the maximum pursuit of individual freedom.Although he does not propose practical measures for the tension of internal tension in modern European society,Oakeshott's philosophy Writing gives us a perspective of thinking.
