Sir Roger Scruton

Principles For Our Times

Far more than a tribute to a legacy.

We believe Sir Roger Scruton did what many cultural conservatives now fail to do - he saw the necessity of searching for ideas that transcend the moment and finding truths instead of opinions.

With guiding principles we can achieve much more. We are creating a book, guided by the work of Scruton, which distills his most important principles into examples of modern application.

Help us in this project

Not only are we spending many hours in the research and writing of this project, with publication scheduled for this summer, but we are also creating a series of workshops and taking these to an international audience, holding events over the next 12 months.

This operation requires significant funding and our target is currently set at a further £10,000. Please contribute generously to see us achieve this and so much more.

To donate specifically to the Scruton project, please email us to inform us of your specific allocation.

“Conservatism is about freedom, yes. But it is also about the institutions and attitudes that shape the responsible citizen, and ensure that freedom is a benefit to us all. Conservatism is therefore also about the limits to freedom.”

— Sir Roger Scruton
