Thanks for your clarification of Scruton in terms of the Virian ideals.
I almost couldn't believe what I was reading at times - it didn't seem
to me to be the reasoning of a professional at all. His sense of cause
and effect seems sketchy at best. He seems to make an assumption that
what the world has become is by definition defective. I think I can
safely conclude that I do not wish to read anymore.
[Jonathan] Right on cue. You boys make a good team. I will ignore Uncle Hermit behind the curtain :-)
You may not read anymore, but for those still partial to reading, why not find out for yourselves about what we are discussing, namely the book "The West and The Rest" by Roger Scruton. Selectively quoting the author from other irrelevant works is neither here nor there. It is simply poisoning the well. The only loss will be to those who refuse to investigate for themselves because they fooled by defamation.
It is difficult to fight a coordinated attack alone, so I will let you read for yourselves what Scruton says (in context and relevant to what I am recommending) and withdraw from this discussion as requested by fellows in this forum.
