There are two objectives of this essay; first is to prove that conservatism in Michael Oakeshott’s ‘On Being Conservative’ piece is logical and valid on two premises: a) the maintenance of order to promote stability in practicing conservatism in government despite adopting radical approach in its other activity, and b) its cautiousness that makes it relevant to practice. Secondly, to argue that Oakeshott’s conservatism, is however incomplete and flawed as it does not provide the alternative of progressing, plus not considering the variations of individuals in the society. In order to critically analyse this essay, we need to understand what influenced him, hence his political theory. Oakeshott is considered as a skeptical philosopher and is

He puts forward the idea of “freedom of opinion” (Tocqueville 106) and constitutes it as “independence of mind and real freedom of discussion” (Tocqueville 104). Unlike Locke, this stretches far beyond what is done. Tocqueville is careful to differentiate this liberty from the freedom of speech, as this freedom from opinion is more meant to indicate the freedom to follow different paths of thought and not be unfairly judged for it.
