>beauty matters because...i-it just does>sees a urinal>reeeeeeejoking aside he's the most interesting modern philosoper once you get a sense of what he's getting at. his understanding intersects everything from history to religion to politics to science to art to language to philosophy to romance yet it is so subtle that it flies under the radar
>>23823949Man tvis is the most reddit greengexting I’ve seen in a while, if I was a Hanny that shit would’ve got you banned
he's a british bourgeois, nothing else
If aesthetics animates in the same way that ethics does, then it goes without saying that aesthetics matters in at least in that same way.
>>23824047he's a Sirthat's quite patrician/aristocratic
>>23824042>reddit
>>23823949his books on Wagner are good
>>23823949I dropped Soul of the World because he wouldn't stop namedropping other philosophers instead of letting his arguments speak for themselves. Referring to other works is one thing but I'm not here to read a literature review
>>23824914I found his books on the Ring and Parsifal very unusual and distanced from Wagner's intentions.
>>23824060He got knighted, same as Mick Jagger or Kenny Dalglish. Nothing to do with being an aristocrat
>>23824060This is what Americans actually believe
>>23823949>he's the most interesting modern philosopera layered troll. not bad. 6/10
>>23824060Good morning saar!
>>23824047>Talks at length about beauty, aesthetics, language and its importance>Completely and utterly refuses to incorperate the ethnic and racial>Wonders why his position is weakeningHe was the embodiment of why 'Right Wing Conservatism' is dead.>>23824948What a fucking joke Knighthood is.
>>23824060They just give that shit to any old pedo.
>>23826385Who said anything about Americans? Got a guilty conscience?
>>23826385Most British think any middle class mong with a knighthood is an aristocrat. It is the same mentality as American fuckwits who think if they rent a squarefoot of Scottish Highlands they are a Laird.Aristocracy exists, they are those who provide martial leadership in war. Everything else is just comodification.
>>23827006Nobody thinks Rod Stewart or fucking Beefy are actual aristocrats you div.
>>23823949Beauty is overrated, when I visited Vienna I was bored out of my mind and the city is full of ''pretty'' buildings, then you visit some shithole full of commieblocks and you have the time of your life. Scruton cannot explain that
>>23824047>>23824060>>23824948>>23826385>>23826429>>23826943Scruton was a real aristocrat though. He used to go fox hunting. If that is not the most aristocratic thing one can do, I don't know what is.
>>23827018They (celebrities) have supplanted the previous aristocracy (Political landowners), which supplanted the original aristocracy (Martial Leadership Class).
>>23827217And now the /lit/ neets have supplanted all previous aristocracies. The true aristocrat is a man of leisure and culture. Today only /lit/ neets fit these qualifications.
>>23827217Literally every rupert is a posh spaz m8.
>>23823949>he's the most interesting modern philosopernot even close. he was a complete mediocrity. the leftoids that he criticized like deleuze were vastly more insightful and interesting than he was. in fact, scruton is a great example of why conservatism is pathetic and always has been.
