The Meaning of Conservatism

Cover image via Amazon

By Roger Scruton
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2001)

Roger Scruton describes a conservatism that regards the individual not as the premise but the conclusion of politics. For him, politics is fundamentally opposed to the ethic of social justice, to equality of station, income, and achievement, or to the attempt to bring major institutions of society (such as schools and universities) under government control.
