The Paris Statement & Roger Scruton

Sir Roger Scruton

My favourite living philosopher, Roger Scruton, co-authored the Paris Statement: http://politiek.tpo.nl/2017/10/07/the-paris-statement-a-europe-we-can-believe/


Twice I have reviewed Roger Scruton's books. Here: http://quadrant.org.au/magazine/2011/04/the-delusions-of-modern-progressives/  And here: https://quadrant.org.au/magazine/2013/05/how-to-save-the-environment-from-green-ideologues/


Wikipedia credits me with a definition of Roger Scruton's form of conservatism - "High Toryism for Common People": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Tory
