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
*Spectator*
Roger Scruton is one of our great men of speculation
*Standpoint*
A persuasive and poignant little book
*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*
