Roger Scruton Memorial Lectures: Peter Hitchens on After Conservatism
In Conversation with Daniel Hannan and Noel Malcolm
Sir Roger Scruton (1944-2020) was one of the most distinguished polymaths of modern times. His work ranged over philosophy, music and aesthetics to politics, religion and law. This annual series of free public lectures will honour his legacy by inviting eminent public intellectuals to speak on four topics of civilisational importance.
