*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2016*

Roger Scruton makes a convincing argument for understanding the value of taking conservative positions on preserving our traditional institutions.  He discusses the central role of families and why they are needed and the dangers of over reliance on government and its programs to assume the functions that traditional families have performed. He also see the danger of replacing the traditional role of charitable, religious and civic institutions  with governmental programs. Over dependence on a central government will lead to changes that may forever destroy the foundations that our current culture and society depended on, leaving citizen only with what the government rulers dictate without any powerful independent institutions to challenge them.  In addition Roger Scruton makes a convincing argument for preserving our past, both with public lands and city and town preservation.  He has little desire to see centuries of communal institutional developments destroyed and replaced with untested and perhaps seriously flawed replacements

    Meandering but Interesting
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2022*

The author, a prominent British conservative philosopher, lays out his political theory. Essentially, people should have territorial loyalty (i.e., nationalism), and the territory should be governed by secular law that respects freedom of speech, association, and property. Further, this law should emerge from the centuries-old practice of the common law. Notwithstanding the above, the author is not a libertarian, and he does see at least some role for the state in maintaining social welfare.Unfortunately, the last 1/3 of the book is a meandering discussion of religion and aesthetics. Further, the author frequently makes grandiose claims that aren't backed up by citations or studies-- an all too common trait among intellectuals in the humanities, unfortunately.
