Roger Scruton on Beauty

Wednesday, December 30, 2009 at 12:51AM |

In celebration of the fact that Roger Scruton's recent video essay about beauty for the BBC has shown up on YouTube, I'm passing it along. Scruton is a stuffy guy and a square, but he's also brilliant, eloquent, and enormously worth wrestling with. I don't know of anyone contemporary who makes the traditional case for the arts better than he does.
