D. J. Manning

David John Manning (8 April 1938 – 10 April 2014) was a British academic and author who was a lecturer in politics at Durham University.

He was a student of Michael Oakeshott. Manning's critique of Jeremy Bentham's philosophy, The Mind of Jeremy Bentham, was influenced by Oakeshott's ideas.

Manning hosted MA politics seminars at Durham University and he edited a collection of essays by his former students, which were published in 1980 as The Form of Ideology: Investigations Into the Sense of Ideological Reasoning with a View to Giving an Account of Its Place in Political Life.

Manning is the father of French filmmaker and radio personality Harold Manning (see page). He died on 10 April 2014, at the age of 76.
