‘Many of the causes he promoted used to be thought of (by the ignorant) as “right-wing” and have now become almost, or entirely, mainstream.’
Do humans need beauty in their lives? In his BBC documentary, Roger Scruton argues that we do, and that as modern society loses beauty, we risk losing the meaning of life, too.
Several of Scruton’s books have been translated into Scandinavian languages, and he gave a number of lectures in which he presented the Danes with a straightforward suggestion: leave the European Union.
One of Scruton’s latest works entitled Conservatism: An Invitation to the Great Tradition was published in 2017 by All Points Book Publishers. Scruton embarks on a historical introduction of conservatism in six chapters, from its prehistory to the present day.
Scruton wrote that the foundation of democracy is not necessarily liberalism but a sense of national loyalty.
