Podcasts about Roger Scruton

Two things caused this episode: a) my reading of a Roger Scruton philosophy book, and b) my attendance at a local county sherrif's graduation ceremony. Together those two have had me reflecting, again, on the power of form, the role that aesthetics play in our lives, and the role that beauty-to-the-honor-of-the-living-God has had for most of two millennia. Scruton talks, among other things, about how public architecture was always designed with an eye toward both the future and the past, but how today's architecture pays no heed to either. Today we prefer fads and/or immediacy. Following those two fads, we serve a god whom I call "Lord Utility." Sadly, immediacy and Lord Utility both have infiltrated the early 21st century Evangelical culture. Let's think through this amazing topic of form, space, and beauty together; all unto the glory of the beautiful one himself, Jesus the Christ.

¿Por qué la belleza importa? Esta es la pregunta que se hizo un día el filósofo Roger Scruton. En la búsqueda de una respuesta hallaría un sentido, preservando la belleza heredada encontró un propósito ancestral escondido. Jorge Soley, que pudo conocerle en persona en su finca de la campiña inglesa, nos habla de las ideas de un hombre leal, sencillo, valiente, divertido y honesto intelectualmente. Su sistema filosófico no quiso cambiar la realidad del mundo, sino simplemente hacer la vida un poco más agradable.Kapital es posible gracias a sus colaboradores:⁠⁠Página Internacional⁠⁠.

Por que indivíduos que um dia foram "insiders" proeminentes se tornam os críticos mais ferrenhos da instituição? Neste episódio especial da série A Ordem, vamos além das discussões superficiais na internet para realizar uma anatomia profunda do antagonismo eclesiástico.Utilizando as lentes de René Girard (Desejo Mimético), Olavo de Carvalho (Mentalidade Revolucionária) e Louis Lavelle (Narcisismo Metafísico), analisamos como o conflito muitas vezes deixa de ser sobre "verdade teológica" e passa a ser sobre a dinâmica de poder e o espelhamento de identidade. O que este vídeo revela: 1. O Mecanismo do Bode Expiatório: Por que a crise eclesiástica sempre busca um culpado para restaurar uma paz artificial? 2. Amnésia Civilizacional: Como o esquecimento da nossa história (1901, Minneapolis 1888) nos torna vulneráveis a narrativas de desconstrução. 3. O "Duplo Mimético": O fenômeno perturbador em que o crítico acaba se tornando idêntico àquilo que mais ataca. 4. As Cinco Grandes Crises: O padrão que une Canright, Kellogg, Ballenger e Ford aos ecossistemas digitais de hoje. 5. Autocrítica Profética: Como defender a integridade do sistema representativo bíblico sem ignorar as falhas reais dos atores humanos que o operam.

In Conservatism, Past and Present: A Philosophical Introduction (Routledge, 2025), Tristan J. Rogers argues that philosophical conservatism is a coherent and compelling set of historically rooted ideas about conserving and promoting the human good. Part I, “Conservatism Past,” presents a history of conservative ideas, exploring themes, such as the search for wisdom, the limits of philosophy, reform in preference to revolution, the relationship between authority and freedom, and liberty as a living tradition. Major figures include Aristotle, Saint Thomas Aquinas, Edmund Burke, G.W.F. Hegel, and Roger Scruton. Part II, “Conservatism Present,” applies philosophical conservatism to contemporary conservative politics, focusing on issues such as nationalism, populism, the family, education, and responsibility. Rogers shows that conservatism has been defined differently at different times: as a loose set of connected ideas reacting against the French Revolution; as a kind of disposition or instinct in favor of the status quo; and more recently as any ideas opposed to the political left. But he also allows a set of questions to guide his argument for conservatism's merits: What is conservatism? Is it a coherent and attractive philosophy? What are conservatives for? And how is today's conservatism related to its past? In his answers, Rogers paints a compelling and coherent picture of an aligned and attractive set of ideas. Dr. Tristan J. Rogers teaches Logic and Latin at Donum Dei Classical Academy in San Francisco, CA. He has also taught philosophy at Santa Clara University, the University of Colorado Boulder, and the University of California, Davis. He is the author of The Authority of Virtue: Institutions and Character in the Good Society (2020). Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

What Happens When a Civilization Ignores God? The Bible Already Told Us In this episode of the Come Let Us Reason Podcast, Lenny Esposito explores Deuteronomy 4 and Moses' warning that cultures survive only if they listen to God's Word, remember the lessons of the past, and pass those truths to the next generation.Drawing from thinkers like C.S. Lewis, Chesterton, and Roger Scruton, this episode examines how the erosion of Judeo-Christian foundations threatens modern society—and why the biblical warning is more relevant today than ever.

Roger Scruton foi o grande defensor da ordem, da beleza e da tradição no Ocidente. Mas será que sua filosofia conservadora é segura para a Igreja Adventista?Neste episódio, analisamos como o pensamento de Scruton, embora útil para combater o caos moral moderno, esconde um risco mortal para o povo remanescente: a sacralização do passado. Se a tradição se torna o critério final da verdade, como fica a missão profética de denunciar os erros de "Babilônia"? Descubra por que a verdadeira ordem adventista não é a conservação de costumes, mas a fidelidade radical à Palavra de Deus. Resumo – Uma análise crítica da filosofia de Roger Scruton, contrastando sua defesa da tradição cultural com a necessidade adventista de reforma contínua e fidelidade profética. Principais Conclusões – Scruton defende a tradição como fonte de ordem, mas o Adventismo a submete à autoridade superior da Bíblia. – O conservadorismo cultural pode se tornar um obstáculo para a proclamação de verdades impopulares (como o Sábado). – O sistema representativo da IASD equilibra ordem e movimento, evitando tanto o caos quanto o engessamento institucional. Pontos-Chave – A beleza e a ordem na liturgia: onde Scruton e o Adventismo concordam. – O perigo da "ruptura niilista" moderna vs. a "reforma profética" bíblica. – Por que a tradição humana não pode ser o refúgio final da Igreja. – A tensão entre manter a estrutura e avançar na missão escatológica. – A verdadeira ordem: não a nostalgia do passado, mas a obediência ao "Assim diz o Senhor". Alex Palmeira é um formador de líderes dedicado a catalisar movimentos missionais e fortalecer a liderança apostólica na igreja contemporânea. Com uma abordagem pastoral e teológica, atua como referência em processos de liderança institucional, focando na formação de uma cultura de fidelidade e missão.

rWotD Episode 3203: Oikofobie Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Monday, 9 February 2026, is Oikofobie.Oikofobie: De angst voor het eigene (Oikophobia. The fear of home) is a 2013 Dutch book written by Thierry Baudet.In the book Baudet follows Roger Scruton's criticism of cultural relativism and multiculturalism. Baudet uses the word Oikophobia and explains this as a term that stands for a type of self hate of the (left) elite towards their own traditional culture. According to Baudet this becomes visible in the society in the dominant preference for open borders within Europe, modern art, multiculturalism. The book forms, together with Baudets other book Aanval op de natiestaat, the foundation for his political program of his political party Forum voor Democratie.Reviews about the book have appeared in De Groene Amsterdammer, Joop (VARA), Vlaams Belang, Trouw, Vrij Nederland, Nederlandse Publieke Omroep Kunststof, Propria Cures, De Dagelijkse Standaard.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:12 UTC on Monday, 9 February 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Oikofobie on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Joey.

Wat blijft er over van kunst wanneer provocatie, rancune en macht het gesprek domineren? In deze aflevering staat KIRAC centraal: kunst die schuurt, confronteert en het ongemak niet uit de weg gaat. Van internetcultuur en Nick Fuentes tot filosofische vragen over schoonheid, emancipatie en begrenzing. Er wordt gezocht naar “iets moois” in een wereld waarin marktdenken, ideologie en virality steeds vaker bepalen wat zichtbaar wordt. Met verwijzingen naar Roger Scruton, Hollywood, Netflix en de opkomst van techmiljardairs als nieuwe cultuurmachten. Niet geruststellend, wel onthullend.

This week's episode is a live recording of Wisdom of Crowds, where we celebrated a very special occasion: the publication of Shadi Hamid's new book, The Case for American Power. The book is a soul-searching study about American power as a force for good in the world, and it combines memoir and foreign policy analysis. Shadi's thesis is that if we want to make the world “more just and more moral, more democratic and more respectful of human rights,” then backing the United States is both the “last best hope and the least-bad option.”Joining Shadi Hamid and Damir Marusic is special guest Matt Duss, former foreign policy advisor to Bernie Sanders, executive vice president of the Center for International Policy, and co-host of the Undiplomatic Podcast. “I am certainly not against the idea of American power,” says Matt. But his question is: “Which America?” Duss is less optimistic that US power can be put to good use because, he says, we are currently having a national debate about “what is the nature of the American project.” It's unclear how that debate will end.Nevertheless, Shadi argues, American democracy, however imperfect, is still superior to the regimes in the other global hegemons, Russia and China. We should not fear our own home — oikophobia is a real issue, Shadi says, using the term for “fear of one's home,” the opposite of xenophobia. Duss partially agrees, but says that being a democracy does not necessarily imbue American foreign policy with moral authority. “International law does that.” The topic of international law prompts Damir to steer the conversation towards the topic of Gaza. Does American collaboration with Israeli war crimes disprove Shadi's thesis? Or does it paradoxically strengthen the argument that the world needs morally-guided American power? At this point, Shadi utters one of the best lines of the night: “To be seen as hypocritical is the cost of trying to being better than you actually are.”We are making this episode completely free for all subscribers, including the Q and A section, which covers topics like: hypocrisy in foreign policy; why working with China is preferable to the US for some nations; how Gaza will change the Democratic Party; the crisis in the MAGA coalition; and more!

Der Titel der heutigen Episode lautet: »Komfortable Disruption«. Komfortable Disruption ist eigentlich eine Verkürzung; genauer gesagt müsste der Titel lauten: »Komfortable evolutionäre Disruption«, aber das ist natürlich sperriger. Es hört auch wie ein Gegensatz an, und diese Provokation soll auch so sein. Evolution bedeutet graduelle Veränderung, jedenfalls aus Sicht des Genotyps; also aus Sicht der Bauform, die Auswirkungen können recht erheblich sein. Mein neues Buch: Hexenmeister oder Zauberlehrling? Die Wissensgesellschaft in der Krise kann vorbestellt werden! Disruption bedeutet aber einen Umbruch, bei dem sich sehr viel in relativ kurzer Zeit verändert. Wie kann beides zusammengehen? Oder noch genauer: warum muss vermutlich beides zusammengehen? Und noch wichtiger: was hat das mit Komfort zu tun? Ich versuche in dieser Episode zwei Dinge zu erreichen: (1) Ein paar Einsichten, zu denen ich in den vergangenen Monaten gelangt bin, teilen, weil diese wirklich coole Beobachtungen über Form, Weg und Geschwindigkeit von Innovationen sind, die vielen nicht bewusst sind und auch mir in Tiefe und Breite nicht klar waren; da werde ich einige Beispiele nennen. (2) Daraus abgeleitet ein paar Fragen, was wir von diesen Beobachtungen für die heutige Zeit und die Zukunft lernen können, und zwar sowohl in der Beobachtung und Interpretation dessen, was um uns herum passiert, aber auch, was das für Geschwindigkeit und Form von Innovationen in der Zukunft bedeuten könnte. Wir stellen in dieser Episode die Frage, was die TAP-Theorie (Theory of the Adjacent Possible) damit zu tun hat, warum jeder Alexander Bell als Erfinder des Telefons kennt, Elisha Gray aber unbekannt geblieben ist. Die wichtigste Frage aber ist: was geschieht beim Übergang vom Alten zum Neuen und was hat es mit Mimetic Ornamentation (Mimesis) zu tun? »universal human reaction to technological change: the tendency to reproduce in new materials and techniques shapes and qualities familiar from past usage, regardless of appropriateness. This tendency may be called the principle of mimesis.«, Roger Scruton Ich schildere dies anhand einer Reihe von wirklich faszinierenden Beispielen: Architektur in der Antike Entwicklung der Eisenbahn und des Autos Kleidung Fenster und Fassaden Holz-Konstruktionen und deren Echos in die Gegenwart Skeuomorphismus in der Software Zugabteil aus der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts (Modell, Technisches Museum Wien) Was sind die treibenden Kräfte für dieses Mimikri, diese mimetischen Ornamente und vergleichbarer Phänomene? »People have generally tended to resist change; they find it reassuring to be surrounded by known and familiar forms. Reproducing them as ornament on newly introduced forms is a common reaction to the vague feeling of uneasiness that rapid social and technological change induces; it provides a satisfying sense of continuity between the past and the present.«, Roger Scruton  Aber es ist nicht nur der Widerstand gegen Neues, es gibt noch eine Reihe von anderen Gründen, warum sich Innovation älterer (Design-)Elemente bedient. Welche sind das? Was treibt nun diese Mimikri? Warum ist das wichtig, relevant? Was können wir aus diesen Beobachtungen über Innovation lernen, die Geschwindigkeit von Veränderung und die Frage, ob es uns gelingen kann oder wird, die Stagnation der letzten Jahrzehnte zu überwinden.

Ztratili jsme smysl pro krásu – a s ním i dušiKdyž britský filozof Roger Scruton poznamenává, že krása je „způsob, jímž se věci ukazují jako hodné lásky“, míří proti samozřejmosti, že pravda leží „pod povrchem“. Navazuje na Wildeovo „jen lidé povrchní nesoudí podle zevnějšku“. Tvář, gesto, tón – to nejsou přívěsky reality, nýbrž její jazyk.Z toho plyne i Scrutonova polemika se stanoviskem, podle něhož je biologie a fyzika základní klíč ke světu. Věda sice popíše příčiny a mechanismy, ale nevysvětlí, čeho se naše vnímání týká a proč na tom záleží. Lidský svět je svět první osoby – intencionality, tedy směrování k někomu a k něčemu. Proto „mozky nemyslí, myslí jen lidé“: hudba, obraz, slovo jsou srozumitelné jen tomu, kdo umí slyšet napětí a uvolnění, vidět tvář, číst gesto. Kultura a výchova potud nejsou luxus či nadstavba, ale vytvářejí základní gramatiku našeho světa.Krása má navíc etickou sílu: brzdí destrukci tím, že věci představuje jako nenahraditelné. Proto jsou s krásou spjaty tabu a úcta, proto náboženské tradice nesou tolik umění. Kdybychom jedním tahem škrtli ze světa náboženství, vymizela by i velká část umění, ať už literatury, výtvarného umění nebo klasické hudby. Umět vnímat krásu znamená najít ve světě domov; přijmout smrt znamená rozumět, že tento domov není věčný, ale právě proto je hodný péče. Krása nás učí dívat se s úctou a pokusit se být odpovědnými správci toho, čeho jsme se stali dědici.KapitolyI.

“We have technology, convenience, security, and a measure of prosperity, but where is the beauty? Where is the beauty that we know we cannot really live without?”    John-Mark Miravalle, Beauty: What it is and Why it Matters In 2009 the late English philosopher Roger Scruton warned that “Beauty is vanishing from our world”, and that […] The post Why the Lack of Beauty is Destroying Society first appeared on Academy of Ideas.

Philosopher and UnHerd writer Kathleen Stock joins Freddie Sayers to discuss one of the strangest and most revealing cultural moments of the year: the rise of Bonnie Blue, the OnlyFans pornstar at the heart of a new documentary that's turning heads and raising questions about sexuality, morality, and the future of sex.Stock — a former professor of philosophy, a leading critic of gender ideology, and a regular UnHerd contributor — agreed to watch the Bonnie Blue documentary at a screening and return with her reflections. In this wide-ranging conversation, she and Freddie delve into the deeper meaning behind the phenomenon: What does Bonnie Blue say about us? Is this just porn, or is it something more — a symptom of a culture in moral decline?They explore the lasting wisdom of Roger Scruton, whose warnings about the separation of sex from beauty and meaning now feel prescient. They also consider the implications of the Online Safety Act, censorship, the state's role in regulating sexual content, and whether we've lost the language for intimacy, mystery, and erotic imagination.

We start by discussing philosophical conservatism, and the virtues of gratitude, humility, and justice. We then go through the history of conservatism, and talk about thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle, Saint Augustine, David Hume, Edmund Burke, attitudes toward the American Revolution and the French Revolution, the 19th century and freedom through authority, the 20th century, Friedrich Hayek, Robert Nozick, Roger Scruton, and the present in Donald Trump and his supporters. We discuss issues surrounding immigration, the family, sexual ethics, responsibilities and rights, and religion.

The right-wing ideologies we see most active in the world right now aren't intellectual by any stretch of the imagination. But there is a rich tradition of conservative political and social philosophy and, as liberals, it's important to understand what its objections to liberalism look like.ReImagining Liberty stalwart Matthew McManus, a lecturer in political science at the University of Michigan, wrote an article for Liberal Currents not too long ago about the philosopher Roger Scruton's criticism of liberalism from a conservative perspective. Scruton's work is perfect—because of its erudition, accessibility, and exemplariness—for understanding the philosophical conservative perspective.Today Matt and I use Scruton's ideas as a way to interrogate the conservative intellectual tradition and to argue that conservative philosophy aims less at a society organized around truth than it does a society where certainty rarely faces challenge.Discuss this episode with the host and your fellow listeners in the ReImagining Liberty Reddit community: https://www.reddit.com/r/ReImaginingLiberty/ If you enjoy ReImagining Liberty and want to listen to episodes free of ads and sponsorships, become a supporter.

“One thing I would note about the Trumpian populists and their counterparts elsewhere in the West today is that they're a very peculiarly tribal kind of post conservative right. It's almost a kind of reassertion of paganism and tribal boundaries and grievance. That is very different from a more traditional kind of conservatism, where the texture of society and the accumulated wisdom of the past and the cultivation of virtue loomed large – at least as ideals, as aspirations. In contrast to that, this kind of contemporary populism has very little texture or wisdom or virtue – its more like a resentful atomism that is invoking certain tribal markers of membership because it's politically convenient, as it were.” – Adam Kempton Webb, NBN interview March 2025 In this expansive and thought-provoking interview, Adam K. Webb lays out a sweeping vision for a post-liberal, post-national world constitution, challenging the dominance of state sovereignty, corporate capitalism, and procedural liberalism. Drawing on over a quarter-century of scholarship culminating in his latest book The World's Constitution (Routledge, 2025) Webb proposes a system of functional sphere pluralism, where governance is rooted in ethical traditions rather than ideology – where citizenship, law, and economic participation are no longer restricted by territorial nation-states. Coming to terms with Webb's interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspective suggests an affinity with thinkers like the late James C. Scott, in his critique of centralized control, coupled with the sensibilities of Roger Scruton and Patrick Deneen, in their defense of ethical and cultural order. Yet Webb diverges from them all in his insistence on a global, meta-constitutional framework, which might place him closer to the likes of Robert D. Kaplan, as seen in his latest work on civilizational cycles and geopolitical evolution. From his critique of elite legal capture (responding to a question on Katharina Pistor's The Code of Capital) to his historical engagement with Confucian, Islamic, and European pluralist traditions, Webb offers a bold alternative to today's stagnating governance models. Whether you are interested in constitutional theory, global governance, or the future of civilization itself, the professor's insights in this interview offers an intellectually rich and thought provoking conversation that is well worth your time.

Quelle est exactement sa pensée ?

In this episode, Dr. John Patrick reflects on the lessons embedded in history, literature, and cultural values. Drawing from the poetry of Thomas Gray and the writings of Roger Scruton, Dr. Patrick explores the erosion of biblical literacy, the shift away from reasonableness, and the societal implications of technological and cultural advancements. He contrasts the enduring strength of Judeo-Christian principles with the modern challenges of moral relativism, political ambition, and the neglect of foundational truths. This thought-provoking discussion bridges historical insights with contemporary issues, offering a compelling narrative on responsibility, humility, and the significance of preserving timeless values.   // LINKS // Website: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/ Podcast: https://doctorjohnpatrick.podbean.com/ Biblical Literate Quiz: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/meaning-metaphor-and-allusion/ Recommended Reading list: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/book-list/ Ask Doctor John: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/ask/ LINKS: https://beacons.ai/doctorjohnpatrick

To je možné u nás ukázat na nedávném setkání politiků s názvem Konzervativní kemp, kterého se zúčastnili zástupci SPD, Stačilo!, ANO i ODS – ač s ideály konzervativců jako byli Edmund Burke či Roger Scruton neměli nic společného. O setkání už psal Martin Fendrych, pojmenuji tedy jen změny, které takové setkání umožňují, a poukáži na to, jak komplikují občanům rozhodování a účast ve volbách.

Damir Marusic and WoC executive editor Santiago Ramos get together to discuss Damir's latest article, “Why We Need Nightmares.” In it, Damir writes about the the binding of Isaac — the chilling story from the Book of Genesis where God asks Abraham to sacrifice his son. Damir is fascinated both by the story and by a Caravaggio painting depicting it. “That's the stuff,” he writes. But what is this “stuff”?While searching for an answer to this question, Damir and Santiago cover a lot of ground. They discuss the story of Abraham and Isaac, as well as the different ways that philosophers have interpreted it. They talk about Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Kant. They come to the conclusion that, while we all have different words for it — terrifying, mysterious, sublime — everyone must grapple with the stuff. Grappling with the stuff is an essential part of living a human life, for believers and unbelievers alike.This episode covers the Bible, philosophy, art, music, and much more. It is not a debate, but an exploration of what exactly it is that makes certain stories, works of art, and experiences so moving, compelling, terrifying.

Following the recent announcement of a general election in the UK, we revisit our debate from 2018 in which key politicians debated the merits of Left vs Right politics. The political Left often purports that it has society's best interests at heart and that it works for the good of all. Yet according to conservatives, it is precisely that self-regard, that attempt to monopolise virtue, which exposes the hypocrisy of left-wing ideology. In this archive debate from 2018, we gathered Labour MP Stella Creasy, environmental campaigner, journalist and author, George Monbiot, Conservative MP Kwasi Kwarteng, and the leading philosopher of conservative thought, the late Roger Scruton, who sadly passed away in 2020, to discuss the issue of right vs left. Our host for the discussion was the journalist, broadcaster, and John L Weinberg visiting professor at Princeton University in the School of Public and International Affairs, Razia Iqbal.

Roger Scruton was one of the outstanding British philosophers of the post-war years. Why then was he at best ignored and at worst reviled? In Roger Scruton: The Philosopher on Dover Beach (Bloomsbury, 2024), Mark Dooley brilliantly illuminates Scruton's life and offers careful analysis of his work. Considering how Scruton's conservative instinct was sharpened during the Paris riots of 1968, Dooley explores why Scruton set himself the task of stridently opposing what he termed 'the culture of repudiation' and how he accomplished it. Covering Scruton's centrals ideas, such as his view of human nature, opposition of the social contract theory and criticisms of the European Union and United Nationals, Dooley argues that he was a prophet for our times - the one British intellectual who courageously rowed against the tide of liberal conviction and arrived at political conclusions the truth of which are becoming more and more obvious.

Today I interview Ruben Hassan, a Dutch podcaster and founder of the Aesthetic City podcast. Ruben shares his journey from being an engineer to becoming a full-time podcaster and filmmaker. We discuss the state of construction and development in the Netherlands and the importance of creating beautiful and sustainable built environments. We also explore the day-to-day life in the Netherlands, including transportation, education, and the value of beauty in society. The conversation covers various themes related to the built environment, society, and culture. Some of the key takeaways include the importance of prioritizing people and their well-being in urban planning and design, the need to address environmental and health issues alongside climate change, the tension between tradition and modernity, the role of institutions in shaping the world, and the emergence of countercultures as a response to societal challenges. We also touch on the Dutch farming protests and the value of different perspectives in shaping the built environment.

"Beauty demands to be noticed; it speaks to us directly like the voice of an intimate friend. If there are people who are indifferent to beauty, then it surely because they do not perceive it." - Roger Scruton, Beauty

Bestselling author & journalist Lionel Shriver is known for her “under-expressed, unpopular, or downright dangerous” views. She is the author of more than two dozen novels, but her latest book is more personal. In “Abominations: Selected Essays from a Career of Courting Self-Destruction,” Lionel presents a collection of her most provocative material on topics ranging from religion and mortality to gender and immigration. As a novelist, Lionel is an advocate for artistic freedom. She recently described censorship in the publishing industry in her Roger Scruton lecture at Oxford, titled “When Cowed Creatives Capitulate: Conformity and Bad Art.” She is particularly critical of the loss of beauty, style, and wit in modern fiction due to “rectitudinous, censorious, and sanctimonious” ideologies. Lionel's novels include “We Need to Talk About Kevin,” which the BBC adapted to film, and New York Times bestsellers “Should We Stay or Should We Go,” “So Much for That,” and “The Post-Birthday World.” She is a columnist for The Spectator and her articles have been published by The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, and The Economist, among others.

Having published more than forty books on an astoundingly wide range of topics and holding noteworthy positions at the British Academy and the Royal Society of Literature, the University of Oxford, the Ethics and Public Policy Center, and the University of Buckingham, Sir Roger Scruton was the quintessential British gentleman and scholar.  He was also one of the greatest conservative intellectuals of the last century and the beginning of this century who died in 2020.  Fisher Derderian joins Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis for a woefully incomplete exploration at the legacy of Scruton, including Scruton's contributions to American conservatism, his curious admiration of Friedrich Hegel, his spirited yet charitable critics of the thinkers of the New Left, and his inscrutable views on the Christian faith.   About Fisher Derderian Source – Scruton.org   Fisher Derderian is the Founder and Executive Director of the Roger Scruton Legacy Foundation.  He met Sir Roger as a student in the MA Philosophy Programme at the University of Buckingham and the idea for the RSLF was subsequently conceived at a tutorial with Scruton.   Fisher currently resides in Orange County with his wife, Maxine, and their three children.  He serves as a member of the Arts Commission for the City of Costa Mesa.  Fisher holds a BA in Politics, Philosophy and Economics from The King's College NYC and a MA in Philosophy from the University of Buckingham.  You can follow Fisher on Twitter @Fisher_D   About the Roger Scruton Legacy Foundation Source – Scruton.org   The Roger Scruton Legacy Foundation is the centre of an international network of institutions and scholars dedicated to furthering the philosophical and cultural achievements of the West championed in Scruton's work.  Through the hosting and sponsoring of events, lectures, seminars, research and projects, the RSLF supports those dedicated to the achievements of Western philosophy, architecture, art and literature who are committed to living for ‘the vanished things' and teaching our great inheritance to the rising generations.  

Too many educational innovations are, ironically, taking teachers out of their own classrooms. The age-old dynamic of a teacher instructing students in a dedicated setting (or often peripatetically, as did Jesus and Socrates) is subtly giving way to diverse “delivery systems,” such as entirely on-line courses, hybrid courses, and the glamorous and world of the MOOC (massive open-source online classes). The justifications for such innovations are many, but criticisms are needed as well. Educational technologies need to be critiqued and used wisely, given their ubiquity and much-vaunted status. But before that, we need to think about the goal of teaching and the nature of knowledge. Students need knowledge and knowledge needs students, according to Roger Scruton. The purpose of teaching is to inculcate knowledge that needs to be known. The inherited wisdom the ages should not be lost through neglect or poor pedagogy—or by students who not inclined or not inspired to learn it. The classic idea of the university is to shape students to have a unified perspective on life, to make them well-rounded and independent thinkers.

Kate Adie presents stories from Israel, Gaza, Germany, New Caledonia and Hungary. Public pressure is growing on Israel's prime minister to secure the release of more than 200 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. Lucy Williamson has been talking to one man whose family was taken captive from Kibbutz Be'eri. Deirdre Finnerty spoke to an Irish-Palestinian family, who were visiting relatives in northern Gaza when the conflict began, and fled to Khan Younis. She hears about the struggle to access basic supplies and the risks faced on a daily basis. The German government has staunchly backed Israel's right to defend itself in the wake of the 7th October attacks by Hamas. Israeli security is, in fact, a cornerstone of German foreign policy. Some pro-Palestinian demonstrations have even been banned because of concerns about anti-Semitic slogans. That's led to clashes with police and debates about freedom of speech as Jessica Parker reports. New Caledonia is home to a small and diverse population. One of its many communities is made up of the descendants of Algerian exiles, who were deported in the late 19th century after uprisings against French colonial rule. Many lost their lives on the gruelling sea voyage from North Africa. Those who survived and settled brought their religion, customs and ancestral memories with them. Chahrazade Douah reports. The conservative British philosopher, Roger Scruton was a great personal friend of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Nick Thorpe reports from Budapest, on the intellectual love affair between the two men, and how ‘Scrutopia' now serves the Hungarian leader.
