Modern Philosophy by Roger Scruton

Modern Philosophy by Roger Scruton

Roger Scruton is one of the most widely respected philosophers of our time, whose often provocative views never fail to stimulate debate. In Modern Philosophy he turns his attention to the whole of the field, from the philosophy of logic to aesthetics, and in so doing provides us with an essential and comprehensive guide to modern thinking. Considered by many to be the best philosophical primer since Bertrand Russell's The Problems of Philosophy, this book is a must for both the student and the general reader.

Modern Philosophy succeeds in inspiring readers to explore the topic further, because one senses Scruton the mark of the true thinker, a deep sincerity and conviction -- Alain de Botton * Daily Telegraph *
Scruton is a masterly writer; his book is a paradigm of lucidity -- AC. Grayling * Financial Times *
A remarkably rich smorgasbord -- Oliver Letwin * The Times *
Invaluable -- Frederic Raphael * Sunday Times *

Roger Scruton was educated at Jesus College, Cambridge. He taught for twenty years in the department of philosophy, Birkbeck College, University of London, and is now Professor of Philosophy at Boston University, Massachusetts.
