About the Author: Roger Scruton who has died of lung cancer aged 75, was a philosopher and a controversial public intellectual. Active in the fields of aesthetics, art, music, political philosophy and architecture, both inside and outside the academic world, he dedicated himself to nurturing beauty, “re-enchanting the world” and giving intellectual rigour to conservatism. He wrote more than 50 books, including perceptive works on Spinoza, Kant, Wittgenstein and the history of philosophy, and four novels, as well as columns on wine, hunting and current affairs, and was a talented pianist and composer. A member of the traditionalist-conservative Salisbury Group, he helped found the Salisbury Review, which he edited from 1982 to 2001. This quarterly, which was circulated in the Soviet bloc, often in samizdat form, was criticised in Britain for having retrograde attitudes. In 1984 it defended Ray Honeyford, the Bradford headteacher who had disputed the value of multicultural education. Consequent hostility from colleagues prompted Scruton to abandon in 1992 his professorship in aesthetics at what is now Birkbeck, University of London, where he had started as a lecturer in 1971. Though he felt this had scuppered his academic career, in the event it freed him for activities and adventures on a wider stage.

Beleza book pdf download By Roger Scruton

Numa obra instigante, Roger Scruton nos convida a refletir a respeito da beleza e do lugar que esta ocupa em nossas vidas. Como deixa bem claro, sua abordagem não é histórica nem psicológica: é filosófica. Assim, nos conduz por questionamentos como: a beleza é subjetiva? Existem critérios válidos para julgar uma obra de arte? Há algum fundamento racional para o gosto? Qual a relação entre tradição, técnica e gosto? Pode o belo ser imoral? Frente àqueles que consideram que juízos de beleza são meramente subjetivos, Scruton, com sua verve polêmica, questiona tal relativismo: “por que estudarmos a herança de nossa arte e cultura numa época em que o julgamento de sua beleza não possui nenhum fundamento racional?”. E com sua contundência característica, declara: “Neste livro, […] defendo que [a beleza] é um valor real e universal ancorado em nossa natureza racional [e que] o senso do belo desempenha papel indispensável na formação do nosso mundo”. Concorde-se ou não com o autor, o fato é que não se pode passar com indiferença por seus argumentos. Se a intenção era fazer o leitor refletir a respeito do assunto, certamente os objetivos se cumpriram.
