According to Nicholas Rengger, the study of modern political theory and international relations is divided between two conflicting views. He terms the more optimistic ‘Pelagian’ and the more sceptical ‘anti-Pelagian’. It will be suggested that although Rengger succeeds in clarifying the assumptions underlying Pelagianism, he is less successful in identifying a coherent form of non-realist anti-Pelagianism. In this chapter we examine in particular the version of non-realist anti-Pelagianism he claimed to find in Oakeshott. We argue that though Rengger’s reading of Oakeshott is more accurate and illuminating than others’ in the field, his reliance on him exposes Rengger’s own anti-Pelagian project to the charge of succumbing to the ‘faint but bewitching glow of ideal theory’ of which he accuses modern idealists and rationalists. Rengger’s project, we conclude, might have been more coherent if he had instead linked it to a theory of prudence and the contemporary debate about the political.
