Provocative, probing, and stimulating. A tour of the intellectuals that Scruton sees as constituting the conservative heritage. This short but incisive book should be read by anyone seeking to seriously understand conservatism today, especially if one is inclined to disagree with conservatives generally of Scruton in particular.
As I continue to find and articulate a political philosophy that I find best, my thoughts on conservatism will make some reference to this book. If, indeed, it is correct in labeling some of the intellectuals as cornerstones of modern conservative I will be pushed away for conservatism inasmuch as I disagree with those thinkers. Nevertheless, Scruton has offer a clear and concise picture of a conservative intellectual heritage.
