Description
Conservatism by Roger Scruton explores the central ideas of conservatism over time. It examines conservative thinking on civil society, the rule of law and the role of the state, as well as freedom, morality, equality, property and rights. Scruton traces the origins and development of conservative ideology in the thoughts of influential thinkers such as John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, David Hume, Edmund Burke, Adam Smith, and others. He also looks at how conservative ideas have shaped politics and policies in the UK and USA, including those of notable figures like Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher. This clear and incisive guide provides a comprehensive understanding of conservatism's role in shaping Western politics and policies over three centuries.
