I was reading a newsletter from the Institute of Public Affairs, which carried a promo on the English philosopher Roger Scruton who would be visiting Australia early next year.
I clicked on a couple of links on the newsletter and was immediately sucked in. A link to a you tube “clip” was an hour long and I thought I’d watch a couple of minutes to decide if I’d watch it later. I ended up watching the whole hour. It was an interview in the US in an organisation known as the “Common Sense Society” and the topic of discussion was mainly on moral relativism.
I’m now wondering if I’d seek out his books for reading over the summer months…
