Over the past twenty years, Roger Scruton has been developing a conservative view of human beings, society, and culture. The tone of this book is positive and the arguments are recommendations to convince the reader that rumours of the death of Western civilization are greatly exaggerated. Much of our present self-doubt, argues Scruton, is brought about by the Darwinian theory of evolution. Darwin encourages us to see human emotion as a reproductive strategy. This is a perspective that Scurton attacks vehemently, especially in its modern proponents- Desmond Morris and Richard Dawkins. This the author believes undermines the belief in freedom and the moral imperatives that stem from it.
