How to Be a Conservative de Roger Scruton

How to Be a Conservative

Autor Roger Scruton Spus de Ralph Lister
en Limba Engleză CD-Audio

What does it mean to be a conservative in an age so skeptical of conservatism? How can we live in the presence of our "canonized forefathers" at a time when their cultural, religious, and political bequest is so routinely rejected? With soft left-liberalism as the dominant force in Western politics, what can conservatives now contribute to public debate that will not be dismissed as pure nostalgia?

In this highly personal and witty book, renowned philosopher Roger Scruton explains how to live as a conservative in spite of the pressures to exist otherwise. Drawing on his own experience as a counter-cultural presence in public life, Scruton argues that while humanity might survive in the absence of the conservative outlook, it certainly won't flourish.

"How to be a Conservative" is not only a blueprint for modern conservatism. It is a heartfelt appeal on behalf of old fashioned decencies and values, which are the bedrock of our weakened, but still enduring civilization.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Roger Scruton's How to be a Conservative presents the case for modern conservatism not in the terms of an elegy but rather as a practical example of how to live as a conservative despite the pressures to live otherwise.

As he writes, the book 'is not about what we have lost, but about what we have retained, and how to hold on to it'.

In this witty and frank account, Scruton draws on his years of experience as a counter-cultural presence in public life. He examines the truths in Nationalism, Socialism, Capitalism, Liberalism, Multiculturalism, Environmentalism, Internationalism and finally Conservatism.

The book concludes on a personal note, with 'a valediction forbidding mourning but admitting loss'.

Recenzii

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.
Roger Scruton is one of our great men of speculation.
A persuasive and poignant little book.
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.
