Scruton, Roger

Recommended only to the most informed readers.

Highly recommended without reservation to the cognoscenti, who will profit enormously from this impressive scholarship.

Recommended for all academic libraries.

While some of Scruton's conclusions may be controversial, especially regarding sexuality and modern-day Islam, he does present an intriguing case for using pessimism as a way to examine issues that affect current society. His clear and accessible writing will appeal to those familiar with the author's past works and also those with an interest in philosophy.
