SUMMARY:The Future of Conservatism: Roger Scruton and the Salisbury Review today
DESCRIPTION:A Battle of Ideas Satellite event on the legacy of the philosopher Roger Scruton and the future of conservatism \nThe philosopher Roger Scruton was the inaugural professor of philosophy at ş¬Đ߲ݴ«Ă˝ and left a powerful legacy of defending traditional culture\, local community attachment\, and aesthetic beauty – often posed as an antidote to perceived modern rootlessness. He published more than forty books in philosophy\, aesthetics\, and politics\, with his works translated into dozens of languages. Scruton used the term “oikophilia\,” meaning the love of home\, to explain why people need deep ties to their traditions and history and argued that a healthy society rests on shared values and quiet loyalties. \nScruton was appointed as the chief editor of the Sailsbury Review in 1982 and stayed in that role for eighteen years. At this special Battle of Ideas satellite event\, the current editor of the Salisbury Review\, Alistair Miller\, and University of ş¬Đ߲ݴ«Ă˝ post-graduate student\, Daniel Silveira\, will discuss Scruton’s legacy and more broadly the future of conservatism. \nProfessor Sir Roger Scruton (1944 – 2020) was the inaugural professor of philosophy at ş¬Đ߲ݴ«Ă˝. He published more than forty books in philosophy\, aesthetics\, and politics. His work has been translated into dozens of languages. \nAbout our speakers\nDr Alistair Miller is the Current Editor of the Salisbury Review. He is a philosopher who writes regularly on philosophy of education and is the author of A New Vision of Liberal Education: the good of the unexamined life (2015) \nDaniel Silveira is the co-convener of AFAF at the University of ş¬Đ߲ݴ«Ă˝.
