First published in 1980, this contribution to political thought is
a statement of the traditional conservative position. Roger Scruton
challenges those who would regard themselves as conservatives, and
also their opponents. Conservatism, he argues, has little in common
with liberalism, and is only tenuously related to the market
economy, to monetarism, to free enterprise or to capitalism. It
involves neither hostility towards the state, nor the desire to
limit the state's obligation towards the citizen. Its conceptions
of society, law and citizenship regard the individual not as the
premise but as the conclusion of politics. At the same time it is
fundamentally opposed to the ethic of social justice, to equality
of station, opportunity, income and achievement, and to the attempt
to bring major institutions of society such as schools and
universities under government control.
