 A second area that is beginning to be explored is that of Bosanquet’s relation to philosophers of succeeding generations in Britain, such as R.G. Collingwood and Michael Oakeshott. Collingwood, for example, discusses Bosanquet’s political philosophy in his unpublished “Notes Towards a Theory of Politics as a Philosophical Science” (see Connelly 2002), and Oakeshott regarded The Philosophical Theory of the State as “the only theory which has paid thoroughgoing attention to all the problems which must be considered by a theory of the State” (Oakeshott 1936).
