Our Church: A Personal History of the Church of England
ISBN: 9781848871991 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 199 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. For most people in England today, the church is simply the empty building at the end of the road, visited for the first time, if at all, when dead. It offers its sacraments to a population that lives without rites of passage, and which regards the National Health Service rather than the National Church as its true spiritual guardian. Here, Scruton argues that the Anglican Church is the forlorn trustee of an architectural and artistic inheritance that remains one of the treasures of European civilization. He contends that it is a still point in the centre of English culture and that its...

Notes from Underground
ISBN: 9780825307850 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Set in the twilight years of the Czechoslovak communist regime, recalled from the suburbs of Washington, this novel describes a doomed love affair between two young people trapped by the system. Roger Scruton evokes a world in which every word and gesture bears a double meaning, as people seek to find truth amid the lies and love in the midst of betrayal. The novel tells the story of Jan Reichl, condemned to a menial life by his father's alleged crime, and of Betka, the girl who offers him education, opportunity and love, but who mysteriously refuses to commit herself.

ISBN: 9788074852534 / Czeski / Miękka / 2022 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Ačkoliv britský filozof Roger Scruton (1944-2020) již není mezi námi, jeho pronikavé myšlenky a názory jsou stále aktuální a inspirativní. V jedné ze svých posledních knih (v originále Where We Are: The State of Britain Now) se Scruton zabývá brexitem, politicky nejbouřlivějším obdobím v moderních britských dějinách, a klade si otázky, na něž nalézt odpovědi není vůbec jednoduché.
Jak může Británie nově definovat svou identitu a co ji v nadcházejících letech udrží pohromadě? Čemu jsou její obyvatelé povinováni a proč? Jak reagují na... Ačkoliv britský filozof Roger Scruton (1944-2020) již není mezi námi, jeho pronikavé myšlenky a názory jsou stále aktuální a inspirativní....

Gentle Regrets: Thoughts from a Life
ISBN: 9780826480330 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Roger Scruton is Britain's best known intellectual dissident, who has defended English traditions and English identity against an official culture of denigration. Although his writings on philosophical aesthetics have shown him to be a leading authority in the field, his defence of political conservatism has marked him out in academic circles as public enemy number one. Whether it is Scruton's opinions that get up the nose of his critics, or the wit and erudition with which he expresses them, there is no doubt that their noses are vastly distended by his presence, and constantly on the verge...

How to Think Seriously about the Planet: The Case for an Environmental Conservatism
ISBN: 9780199895571 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The environment has long been the undisputed territory of the political Left, which casts international capitalism, consumerism, and the over-exploitation of natural resources as the principle threats to the planet, and sees top-down interventions as the most effective solution. In How to Think Seriously About the Planet, Roger Scruton rejects this view and offers a fresh approach to tackling the most important political problem of our time. The environmental movement, he contends, is philosophically confused and has unrealistic agendas. Its sights are directed at the largescale...

Hier enthüllt er, wie es dazu kommen konnte, dass heute Linke die Geisteswissenschaften dominieren.

The Aesthetics of Architecture
ISBN: 9780691158334 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. Architecture is distinguished from other art forms by its sense of function, its localized quality, its technique, its public and nonpersonal character, and its continuity with the decorative arts. In this important book, Roger Scruton calls for a return to first principles in contemporary architectural theory, contending that the aesthetic of architecture is, in its very essence, an aesthetic of everyday life. Aesthetic understanding is inseparable from a sense of detail and style, from which the appropriate, the expressive, the beautiful, and the proportionate take their meaning. Scruton...

Death-Devoted Heart: Sex and the Sacred in Wagner's Tristan and Isolde
ISBN: 9780195166910 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A tale of forbidden love and inevitable death, the medieval legend of Tristan and Isolde recounts the story of two lovers unknowingly drinking a magic potion and ultimately dying in one another's arms. While critics have lauded Wagner's Tristan and Isolde for the originality and subtlety of the music, they have denounced the drama as a "mere trifle"--a rendering of Wagner's forbidden love for Matilde Wesendonck, the wife of a banker who supported him during his exile in Switzerland. Death-Devoted Heart explodes this established interpretation, proving the drama to be...
