conservatives take. In fact, many of Burke’s ideas can only stem from the conservative disposition that Oakeshott outlines in this essay. For instance, through his expression that enjoyment includes the acceptance that the current moment was given to us by the past, and specifically by past society’s actions and institutions, Oakeshott makes a direct explanation of Burke’s social contact which puts the people of the present in a contract with the past and the future.
