Outside his career as a philosopher and writer, Scruton was involved in the establishment of underground universities and academic networks in Soviet-controlled Central Europe during the Cold War,[9] and he has received a number of awards for his activities in this area. Sounds like an admirable individual.

Why Beauty Matters. An amazing Roger Scrutin lecture on values. A must watch.

Had to read it twice. Thought it said Scrotum on first read. More Crown jewels?
