Author: Roger Scruton

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.

È almeno dai tempi di Socrate che il filosofo non conosce tabù. Ma, sostiene Roger Scruton, come disciplina accademica la filosofia ha troppo spesso tradito le proprie origini, oscillando tra gli estremi di uno specialismo esasperato o di una vaghezza mascherata da un linguaggio apparentemente profondo ed evocativo. Scruton, invece, non ama le chiusure accademiche, gli atteggiamenti oracolari, le censure del politicamente corretto. L’audacia intellettuale dovrebbe sempre andare di pari passo con la chiarezza espositiva e con l’attenzione ai problemi della gente comune. A lungo la filosofia è stata tenuta separata dai desideri, dalle paure e dalle speranze degli uomini e delle donne in carne e ossa. Lo scopo di questo libro è di “riconciliarla con la vita”
