How to be a conservative by Sir Roger Scruton
Renowned philosopher Roger Scruton draws on his own experience as a counter-culture presence in public life to explain conservatism in a sceptical age.
Roger Scruton is that rarest of things: a first-rate philosopher who actually has a philosophy … one of the few intellectually authoritative voices in modern British conservatism-- Jesse Norman * Spectator *
Roger Scruton is one of our great men of speculation. -- David Willetts * Standpoint *
A persuasive and poignant little book. -- Ferdinand Mount * The Oldie *
Elegantly written and thought-provoking ... I loved this book, especially the way it seems to be aimed as much at the heart as the mind. On both it has a cleansing effect , the equivalent of eating a tart lemon sorbet. * Country Life *
