2 For instance, Oakeshott introduced a talk by Voegelin at LSE by calling his New Science of Politics ‘a brilliant and alas too little read work’ (1962), and he recommended Voegelin to David Boucher as providing ‘most enlightening discussions’ of the history of political thought (private correspondence, relayed to me by Boucher himself).

3 Corey (2006: 16) argues that Voegelin’s concept of ‘gnosticism’ and Oakeshott’s of ‘rationalism’ share a ‘fundamental equivalence’. While I agree that they are at least similar, I do not believe they are equivalent.
