Dennis O’Keeffe “Never in the field of Burkean studies has so much been said in so few words. O’Keeffe displays an enviable sense of structure, which enables him to combine in a small space a comprehensive exegesis of Burke’s thought with a sweeping overview of secondary sources - and still have enough left over to show how Burke’s ideas apply to today’s world.” The Salisbury Review Dennis O’Keeffe is Visiting Professor of Sociology at the University of Buckingham, UK.

Joseph A. Schumpeter new
“Gregg’s work is a useful introduction to the thought of Wojtyla and Ratzinger and thus essential reading for anyone engaged in serious study of the present-day papacy.” The Journal of Ecclesiastical History The Modern Papacy goes beyond the caricatures to demonstrate how the popes - specifically John Paul II and Benedict XVI - have articulated a sophisticated critique of the post-Enlightenment world, one that acknowledges the real progress made in modernity while simultaneously highlighting its political and philosophical shortcomings.

Michael Oakeshott

Edmund Neill “In this learned and lucid volume Edmund Neill not only provides an invaluable introduction to Oakeshott’s work, but also situates it within the wider history of thought. It will be of use to those new to Oakeshott, and will stimulate debate amongst those already familiar with his writings. Neill’s Oakeshott is more coherent and more conservative than others have argued. He is also more interesting.” William Whyte, Fellow and University Lecturer in History, St John’s College, Oxford
