Abstract
The objective of this research paper is to find the basis due to
which Michael Oakeshott can be considered a philosopher of education or
he cannot be regarded as a philosopher of education? This question appears
when anyone compares Oakeshott’s work to the works of other philosophers
of education. The latter had clear objectives for their systems of education
and they devoted their lives for forming comprehensive system of education
to achieve their suggested goals. They authored books, founded the schools
and formulated the educational ‘-isms’. In contrast to them, Oakeshott had
neither written any comprehensive book on education nor he had any job as
an educationist. His works are not directly related to education with
exception of some lectures and essays but the small collectionis not
sufficient foundations to call him a Philosopher of Education. Then how he
can be called a philosopher of education? This research will focus on
finding the solution to the cliché.
