Résumé

Hard-hitting essays by influential social commentator, Roger Scruton. Each 'confession' reveals aspects of the author's thinking that his critics would probably have advised him to keep to himself. Scruton challenges popular opinion on key aspects of our culture in a provocative collection seeking to answer the most pressing problems of our age.

Confessions of a Heretic Résumé

Confessions of a Heretic: Selected Essays Roger Scruton

This collection of essays arises from a decade of engagement with the public culture of Britain and America. Some have been published in print or on-line; some are appearing here for the first time. I describe them as confessions, since they reveal aspects of my thinking which, if I am to believe the critics, ought to have been kept to myself. I have weeded out material of an academic kind, and have tried to include only those essays that touch on matters of concern to all intelligent people, in the volatile times in which we live. Scrutopia, Christmas 2015
