One of my favourite contemporary philosophers although I don't always agree with him. In fact do I ever agree with him? Only in the basics I suspect. But he is a cultured and cultivated man. And a man of great integrity. And a subtle and profound thinker. I wish there were more like him.
This man's labors to communicate his ideas reminds me of the passage from Sacred Scripture: "If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?"
36:37 ... YES , I KNOW HOW PAINFUL it is . ' BETON BLOCKS ' REPLACING EUROPEAN ARCHITECTURE . I HAVE SEEN that . LIVED that . MY FATHER PASSED AWAY DUE to DEPRESSION . YOUR WORDS are HIS WORDS . at all .
Scruton is great but I find it odd that he wants to tell us that music is movement and really does "move" but memes are just part of the infrastructure of repudiation.
4:40 "The old inherited Christian tradition was very much part of my upbringing..." --- And, what, you never grew up, never put away childish things and bronze age fairy tales? You stayed in your childhood till you're a gas bag odious old creep? How sad. D.A., J.D., NYC (NOT a Scruton fan)
David Anderson your arrogance shows your philosophy at work. Instead of listening to his point, and disregarding what you disagreed with like a reasonable person, you decided to deride a dead man for a good ole, self-righteous pat on the back. Well done.
If it's good music it's good music. I don't care what kind of music it is I'm partial to hard rock/ heavy metal and have been all my life but if it's hard rock / heavy metal music with a symphony backing it Awesome because I'm 49 years old now. But I like outlaw country music and symphony music. Music is the only sane thing on earth in my opinion.
Give me some bottles of Brandy and some 12 packs of beer and a carton of smokes and I can study this kind of stuff all week. And Love it but I'm not a big fan of people. I like my solitude but a women would be nice once in a while I guess just for Snuggle and spooning reasons.. I've renounced my Christianity
I love to listen to this formidable philosopher
"My generation grew to immaturity in the 60's..." Scruton is brilliant, and edifies with every word.

Scruton must be the coolest intellectual alive.
:( he was
@@NateSassoonMusic Lol!
@@MutualAidWorks are you a chomsky fan? i think he's quite sharp and lucid in his old age.
I love this man ,I keep telling everyone about him.
A particularly beautiful and lucid ramble from the good Professor. Thank you for sharing!
Scruton was a gem, his death was a loss for humanity.

And so modest about it.👏

Sir roger scruton looks to me like a highly civilized and polite version of owen benjamin.
The forms of significance, we need to search them out.

Listening without looking at the background so not to switch off to something else within the same range of concept.
scrutopia....ah
Pity about the fireplace
+tincoffin Indeed, very distressing.
"all the bysantine architects knew this.. until modernists destroyed architecture" -- right now cannot google up "ornamental marbles"...
