Inhaltsangabe
The Roger Scruton Reader is the first comprehensive collection of Scruton's writings, spanning a period of thirty years. It gathers selections from some of his earliest works such as The Aesthetics of Architecture (1979) to his most recent Culture Counts (2007). The book also includes a good number of unpublished essays. It is made up of five sections - the last section of all contains some of Scruton's most pugilistic pieces on Dawkins and on The Iraq War.
Scruton holds Burkean political views and his book The Meaning of Conservatism was a response to the growth of liberalism in the Conservative party. At all times he is concerned to shift the right way from economics towards moral issues such as sex education and censorship laws. But he has in fact written on almost every aspect of philosophy - always in prose which is accessible and written with pellucid clarity.

Hardcover with dust jacket. Zustand: Sehr gut. XXIV, 232 p. Ein gutes Exemplar, innen sehr sauber und ohne Anstreichungen / a good copy, inside very clean and without markings. - Roger Scruton published his first book in 1974. Since then he has become a publishing sensation: forty books, hundreds of articles and scores of newspaper columns. He has also written two operas, two novels and a book of poetry. The Roger Scruton Reader gathers together for the first time in a single volume, a broad selection of Scruton's writings on everything from conservative politics, sex, culture, the environment, wine and hunting. The sixteen essays included here are not only a vivid testament to Scruton's staggering intellectual scope, but also to his tantalisingly beautiful prose. This book will serve as a comprehensive introduction to Scruton's philosophy, politics and aesthetics. But it is also a must for anyone interested in one of England's most enduring and controversial public intellectuals. / Contents Introduction: A Philosophy of Love Section 1: Conservatism 1.
