SinopseAn Intelligent Person's Guide to Modern Culture
This book, both acclaimed and criticized by the British press, defends high culture against the rise of pop and mass entertainment. Scruton explores why culture remains vital in an age lacking faith, offering a rigorous critique of postmodernism, deconstruction, Foucault, Nietzschean self-indulgence, and the "culture of repudiation" in academia. Yet, beyond critique, the book also celebrates the true heroes of modern culture and calls for a higher way of life.
The American edition includes revisions addressing the controversy sparked by its original publication. Critics praise Scruton's sharp wit, deep analysis, and fearless challenge to liberal orthodoxies, positioning him as a rare intellectual voice engaging with modernity’s crises.
