Description: Modern Culture by Sir Roger Scruton, Roger Scruton Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description What do we mean by culture? This word, purloined by journalists to denote every kind of collective habit, lies at the centre of contemporary debates about the past and future of society.In this thought-provoking book, Roger Scruton argues for the religious origin of culture in all its forms, and mounts a defence of the high culture of our civilization against its radical and deconstructionist critics.He offers a theory of pop culture, a panegyric to Baudelaire, a few reasons why Wagner is just as great as his critics fear him to be, and a raspberry to Cool Britannia.A must for all people who are fed up to their tightly clenched front teeth with Derrida, Foucault, Oasis and Richard Rogers.
