Sir Roger Scruton is the most important British philosopher since Edmund Burke.

Listening with another layer of awe to Sir Roger now that he has shuffled off this mortal coil. RIP a great man.

@bishopphonsie7237 3 года назад

Clarity of thought, deep insight, dignity, and charm. RIP Sir Roger.

The gloom of his departure is lightened by the worth and values he left behind, and our ability to pick up the torch, so graciously handed on, and carry it, shedding light, as it was intended to do.

Orwell captured well the ugliness of a world dominated by power and control. And the founding fathers hammered out a document to prevent that very world from ever appearing. Each generation must work to conserve the good that has been created and to produce even more for the next generation. This means both fighting for what’s right and educating the next generation.

I fear it is far too late. Enemies to the documents are already in place in the corridors of power in DC and beyond... behind the smiles.

@@matthewstokes1608 It's in dire situations that people come out fighting. Don't give up.

@AdamantSeraph 4 года назад

It's worst. It's hoping for 1984 and fighting for it in a Brave New World reality

Why _not_ give offence?

@LS-td3no 3 года назад

I wonder what he would be saying now? Watching what is happening in D.C. Have no idea why once again, not prepared for protesters.

@matonmongo 4 года назад

Love Sir Roger, and thx for helping spread his wisdom. Though it does him a disservice to crudely attempt to frame the topic within a strictly conservative vs librul POV, and simply replaces one 'puritannical' Ideology with another.

The Anglo-Saxon approach down the centuries is conciliation.....the history of ireland since 1600 AD is a good example of this approach

@miguelteixeira2730 4 года назад

Do the Irish agree?

The Universities are Left, and should be left to the Left. On the Right, Invisible Colleges and fluid socio-neural are evolving to fill the intellectual vacuum.

Roger, have you ever been sanctioned by the DWP?

@edwise4543 4 года назад

Scruton was a true conservative because he wasn't tribal: he hated Trump as much as he hated progressives.

@niiflinstone23 Год назад

I wonder what his Anglo-Saxon ancestors thought of African humanity for 100s of years before the 1800s in their "dialogues of conciliation". Haha!

@krushervimose4599 4 года назад

4:04 WRONG WRONG WRONG. The French Revolution was the perfect materialization of Neo-Christianity, the direct descendant of Christian radicalism such as the Order of Francis of Assisi and the anti-monarchial champions of the English Civil War. Nothing about it rejected the principles of Christianity-it was the ultimate incarnation of Christian ideology in the observable world. It was as Christian as Neo-Adamism and just as tragicomical. Just because one ignores the superstitious, ghostly aspects of a belief-system does not render one totally apart from it if any aspect of it remains in the makeup of the "New Belief".

@beirbua3968 4 года назад

EXCELLENT

Ben Weingarten is not good enough to match Roger Scruton.

@robmichael-phillips6051 5 лет назад

I really admire Roger Scruton, though I don’t always agree with him. But as far as his insurmountable problem about culture goes, if Conservatives want to be more part of popular culture, they probably need to write better songs, write better books, paint better pictures, make better films and tell better jokes.

Rob Michael-Phillips The artists of talent (as well as talented entertainers) eventually, as they age, become part of the Establishment. Most tend to, even though they may well have started out as anti-Establishment. Even the old rock stars pick up their knighthoods.
