Description
Roger Scruton's thought-provoking exploration of conservatism offers a fresh perspective on a rapidly changing world. In this book, the renowned philosopher argues that while humanity might survive without the conservative outlook, it certainly won't flourish. Drawing on his own experiences as a counter-cultural presence in public life, Scruton makes a heartfelt appeal for old-fashioned decencies and values that are the bedrock of our civilization. Conservatism is often seen as a reaction against the dominant forces in Western politics, but what can conservatives contribute to public debate in a skeptical age? Scruton provides a personal and witty account of how to live as a conservative, despite the pressures to conform. This book is not only a blueprint for modern conservatism but also a passionate defense of the values that underpin our society. By examining the role of conservatism in modern society, Scruton offers a nuanced and thought-provoking exploration of the importance of tradition, community, and individual freedom.
