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 Scrutons 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 Scrutons staggering intellectual scope, but also to his tantalisingly beautiful prose. This book will serve as a comprehensive introduction to Scrutons philosophy, politics and aesthetics. But it is also a must for anyone interested in one of Englands most enduring and controversial public intellectuals. / Contents Introduction: A Philosophy of Love Section 1: Conservatism 1.
