"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The book also includes a good number of unpublished essays.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 a?? always in prose which is accessible and written
with pellucid clarity. He has grave intellectual doubts about much
contemporary continental philosophy, reserving special objections
to Foucault, Althusser and The Frankfurt School whilst holding Kant
in particularly high regard. Scruton argues that religion is both
necessary and helpful though he admits that it is difficulty to
prove the truth of religious statements.
