Description
Roger Scruton's A Political Philosophy offers a compelling argument for conservatism. Over the past twenty years, Scruton has developed a conservative view of human beings, society and culture, which he presents as a response to modern self-doubt. At the heart of his philosophy is a critique of the Darwinian theory of evolution, which Scruton argues undermines the belief in freedom and moral imperatives. He contends that this perspective, popularized by thinkers such as Desmond Morris and Richard Dawkins, can lead to a diminished view of human emotion and its role in shaping our lives. This book provides a thought-provoking exploration of conservatism and its relevance in contemporary society.
