Roger Scruton on Beauty and Consolation

While browsing Youtube the other day, I found this lovely series of videos featuring Roger Scruton. There are some parts of interviews which feature a lot of babbling in some language that sounds like Dutch without a translation, and the guy doing the interview is like Herzog’s numbskull cousin, but Scruton’s responses are compelling.

  • Part 2
  • Part 3 — lots of fox-hunting talk
  • Part 4
  • Part 5
  • Part 6
  • Part 7
  • Part 8
  • Part 9

It’s a good use of a bit over an hour. Since it is Valentine’s day, something about beauty seemed appropriate.

    Thanks for introducing me to Scruton. I was familiar with the name but not the man. The horse sucked me in, since I ride.

    He seems to be rich. Good for him. I didn’t think the Academy paid that well. Anybody here know how he made his money?

      He looks to have written many books. Also the universities he has taught at pay well.
