"For Scruton, art and beauty are fundamental in preserving a sense of the sacred, an orientation for human endeavors. Art need not serve a purpose but neither is it simply for its own sake. Beauty allows art to have profound effects on people and society." lawliberty.org/book-review/s…

Scruton’s Conservative Case for the Union of Arts and Politics – Tony Spanakos

An analysis of art and politics by, perhaps, the most important conservative public intellectual of the late 20th and early 21st century.

"The first chapter, “Our Prejudices,” identifies three progressive biases—a misunderstanding of equality’s universal appeal, a disrespect for the past, and a skeptical approach toward the existence of God—that conservatives must challenge." ripg.uni-nke.hu/hirek/2025/0…

The essence of conservatism is therefore the recognition that politics is not a field in which we enjoy complete freedom of choice, but rather a form of action in which our options are fundamentally influenced by forces beyond our own competence.

“Conservatism arises directly from the sense that one belongs to some continuing, and pre-existing social order, and that this fact is all-important in determining what to do.” Sir Roger Scruton

“That total equality can only be affected by eradicating liberty is regarded today less as a warning, more an aspiration” — @patrickxwest reviews True Conservatism, by Anthony T. Kronman thecritic.co.uk/issues/july-…

Spinoza, the true conservative | Patrick West | The Critic Magazine

Conservative thinkers are apt to invoke Edmund Burke when seeking a foundation for their beliefs and perspectives on the world.

Scruton believes that traditional forms of art, architecture, and music carry intrinsic meaning and cultural significance, shaping human experience in profound ways. He was critical of modernist movements that sought to break away from tradition. 3/3
Scruton argues that tradition provides a continuous artistic dialogue, allowing literature and art to transcend historical limitations while preserving the refinement of inherited forms. 2/3

#Roger_Scruton’s aesthetic theory is deeply influenced by the concept of tradition, as he believed that beauty and artistic value are rooted in historical continuity rather than radical innovation. 1/3

McIntyre's revival of virtue ethics & communal traditions continues to inspire those seeking a more integrated approach to politics and morality, rooted in the fundamental idea that the pursuit of the good life is not an isolated endeavor but a social, inter-generational journey.

MacIntyre’s work remains a cornerstone in contemporary moral, political, and theological philosophy, offering an alternative to the individualism and moral relativism that characterize modern thought.

He contends that liberalism erodes the possibility of a shared moral life by severing the relationship between ethics and communal belonging, rendering political discourse little more than competing individual preferences within an impersonal bureaucratic framework.

MacIntyre’s political philosophy challenges the foundational premises of liberal democracy, arguing that its emphasis on autonomy and procedural justice has led to social fragmentation and moral decay.

Unlike liberal individualism, which divorces ethics from communal life, MacIntyre asserts that moral excellence is inseparable from the traditions, narratives, and institutions that shape human character.

MacIntyre advocates for a return to virtue ethics, a tradition rooted in Aristotle’s notion of #eudaimonia. Central to this ethical vision is the concept that morality must be understood within the context of a social practice.

In doing so, they inadvertently stripped morality of its communal and teleological dimensions, reducing ethical discourse to competing ideological claims devoid of any objective grounding in the human good.

MacIntyre’s diagnosis of moral fragmentation doesn't emerge from abstraction, but it is grounded in a historical analysis. He shows how the Aristotelian-Thomistic tradition of moral reasoning was dismantled by Enlightenment thinkers, who replaced tradition with abstract reasons.
