Huge figure from the mid-20th century. One of Roger Scruton’s Fools and Frauds.

I know at one time he was very anti-religion, but he changed about 35 years ago, and is particularly pro-Christian.

Must be a bad hombre. I have no need for "philosophers".
I have my life (and future) spoken for.

And Scruton's disdain is plenty damning.

Oh my yes, and one of the worst. Others include Horkheimer, Marcuse, Lukacs, Adorno, and Fromm, not to mention a fellow who did jail time for selling sex boxes, Wilhelm Reich. The level of sheer intellectual kitsch is staggering.

I remember reading one of his book. But I can’t remember the title or what he said.
