Within these \"confessions,\" the author unveils aspects of his thinking that his critics would likely have advised him to keep private. Spanning a range of subjects, including art and architecture, politics, and nature conservation, Scruton challenges prevailing notions on crucial aspects of our culture. He explores questions such as how to safeguard Western values against the threat of Islamist extremism, how to foster genuine friendships in the age of social media, the significance of preserving the nation-state, and the challenges of achieving a timely demise in the face of modern medicine's advancements. This thought-provoking collection aims to address the most pressing issues of our time. In his introduction, bestselling author and commentator Douglas Murray sheds light on the cost Scruton incurred for expressing views considered unorthodox and the enduring importance of these ideas following Scruton's passing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 242g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 119 x 192 x 18 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781912559343\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roger Scruton","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44100164255994,"sku":"9781912559343","price":11.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/4ee4901ee46e680fa850fb18413f937e.jpg?v=1639972348","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/confessions-of-a-heretic-revised-edition","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
