i am surprised smith's glib arrogance in dismissing the spirituality of oprah and of elizabeth gilbert as not being salvific...but perhaps it's because they're women..given he doesn't even know the actual name of the woman who wrote frankenstein!

Good lecture! <3 thank you for sharing it. :) - There's a bitter sweetness to this lecture (it's a little sad seeing the toll that age is starting to take on Sir Roger - but he maintains a great sense of humor about it).

For once I must vigorously disagree with Sir Roger. I can see that the Tintoretto is great art but it is oriented far more toward the Last Judgement and therefore distracts one from the essential reality of The Crucifixion, which is the totality of Christ's suffering. The nature of His sacrifice is thus glossed over in the Tintoretto which I find to be a repugnant piece of art for it's Triumphalist orientation. The Grunewald is a masterpiece. Also, just because Schubert drank a little too much doesn't make him depraved. Wagner is more problematic; he was a genuine jerk.

As long as we continue this charade of providing the rights of Palestinians (Gaza and Golan) and Israelis alike the longer we prolong the inevitable outcome, which is a greater Israel. Justice will not be done, ever as long as there are two opposing sides.

Great video...after watching this i will look at the company statements differently and with better clarity.

He was a wonderful, generous and brilliant man. I was VERY fortunate to have him as an email friend in his later years.

There is a north star for navigating all things moral, social and political, Scruton!

Around the 5:55 min mark, ''withstand scrutiny'' Very true. As Mormons are not afraid of HONEST scrutiny of their own doctrines.

Clever gentleman, hopeless speaker. Slow down, engage your audience, leave your notes at home. Have a little more faith son.

Thank you so much LDS for bringing this beautiful man to us!!!

This guy should get married, if possible, or become a priest. Right now, he is just confusing, and brings zero personal experience to his very laudable ideas. Therefore, he is unconvincing, unfortunately.

James KA Smith is slowly becoming a favorite. He can balance clarity with profundity, something intellectuals are awful at.

Im so sorry Sir Scruton, but the political correct culture Marxist modern man will not listen. They are not forced, brainwashed or enslaved, they are deeply convinced feminists, liberals, multi cultural and diversity worshipers. Everything that we consider ugly, degenerate, unnatural and decadent is freedom, happiness, love and equality for them. They made their choice, they are all grown ups. We wont win. We might found foundations, society and domains of our own. A form of autonomy . But the modern world belongs to the liberals, the white self hating ethnic masochists and political correct mass and bugman.

What can I say this talk is where the tire meets the road. Thank you Bro Millett for this great dissertation, it fills my soul.

Good on the beautiful truths of the mind behind Sir Roger Scruton.

Scruton is neither true, nor good - and he's certainly not beautiful.

Ken Wilber does a decent job at delineating, distinguishing and integrating The Good, True & Beautiful. He also does a good job at showing how we can sometimes fall into reductionism whereby we fail to delineate, distinguish and integrate elements that make up The Good, True & Beautiful in the wider culture... which is already happening. The patterns he points out are very educational.

what i like about serious conservatives is that they tend to translate complicated topics into simple ones, and in doing so discern facts from bullshit, but at the same time there is the risk that they may discredit valid points wich are subtle and elegant, classic example of schopenauer and hegel.

Unfortunately Mr Scruton has stated in another video that he likes hunting. To me there can be no reason why someone who claims to be refined can condone blood "sports".

He lost me when he said "there was nobody living here back then"...

Marvellous!

A true wise man.

If you understood reincarnation, it would explain why some people can have troubles of sexual identity due to carryovers from previous incarnations.

Without the Internet, my education would suck. The USA therefore wants Turkey because of its geopolitical situation in the EU, the EU therefore only wants to put a little honey in Turkey's mouth (Balkan route), but not take it in. Erdogan installs a dictatorship, dismantles the remnants of secularism. The country is in a phase of Islamisation. To draw a funny comparison: This would be about the way the USA expects Venezuela to be included in the NAFTA agreement. Caution: joke. The lecture is like 2010. Bad 9 years behind us, huh folks?

SO DEEP!! 😍

How much of ancient belief is he hoping to recapture. If you read the Bible, you'll find all kinds of beliefs that modern folks couldn't possibly recapture. I suspect things will get worse as time goes by from the viewpoint of those who are religious believers and are hoping for a recovery of a world of believers. Accelerating science and technology are pushing us away faster and faster from those old strange Biblical beliefs. Another generation or two and they will be incomprehensible.

In respect to the picture of Grünewald I would say that the picture of the crucifiction has to be related to the picture of the resurrected Christ by the same painter on the backside of the altar in order to understand the message.

I wonder if DW Griffith's film The Birth of a Nation can be "rescued" in the same way that Wagner's work was explained? I think the overt racism in that film was marginalized for many years, culminating in a DW Griffith award given for Hollywood films of technical excellence (Kubrick received one); but it was later withdrawn for its racist associations. The film glorifies the Ku Klux Klan and actually lead to a resurgence of membership and its attendant violence.

God, I love this man.

You can ignore reality.. but you cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality..

Brilliant man. He has the body language of an alcoholic. Makes sense though. "Immanuel Kant was a real pissant Who was very rarely stable. Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar Who could think you under the table. David Hume could out-consume Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel. And Wittgenstein was a beery swine Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel. There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya 'Bout the raising of the wrist, Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed. John Stuart Mill, of his own free will, On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill. Plato, they say, could stick it away, Half a crate of whiskey every day. Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle, And Hobbes was fond of his dram. And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart, "I drink, therefore I am." Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed, A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed."

“Cross Pressures”..... get it?

This man is brilliant and utterly charming.

Satan may have a marketing plan that seems to out perform God's plan but if God was to manifest His power and dominance over Satan it would not require faith to be lead to God's plan. It shows the wisdom, humility and restraint of God. As he says at the end it keeps us humble and searching, even against the apparent odds.

oracles.

An armor guy being an expert on guerilla war? Wasn't it the Defense Policy Board that lobbied for and got us into this quagmire?

Beauty isn't goodness, but goodness is beautiful.

I like Roger Scruton and generally agree with what he says, but in this talk I would take exception with a few things. Satan a sympathetic figure in "Paradise Lost?" To each his own but I hardly saw him that way. And to use commercially driven Thomas Kincaid as a representative of sentimentality is grossly unfair and absurd. Try rather Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer or Doctor Dolittle. Now what says Scruton to these? I myself like them much better than Wagner or Puccini. And now that he mentions it, as far as most 19th and 20th century classical music generally, and aside perhaps for Tchaikovsky or Rachmaninoff, they are like Scruton's books of science, ordinarily good for one read, or in their case one listen, unlike say 18th century classical music, like Mozart, or the Baroque of such as Handel and Vivaldi; which we can stand hearing over and over and over again.

Sir Roger - Insightful and enriching. I am better because of his effort here. Thank you.

Good is predicated upon God. The Good or God shoots forth its creative Idea as the Light of Truth which, striking the magic Mirror of matter, shines with pleasure at representing that Truth in the many forms of Beauty. The lower man projects his own horrors on that same screen and suffers accordingly. Truth is Light, Beauty is Life and both are made One in Goodness, which is Love. "Wisdom perfects Art; Art perfects Nature, and Nature perfected is the Wise man's Stone."

This is awesome. I am ideologically libertarian/socially liberal, and I've been feeding myself with stuff on my side that has been fueling anger.

There are a ton of jobs out there. Many more than there are people... It's that these jobs have no room for advancement, no promotion, no benefits or career path and low pay. Who wants to participate in a society that sees you as disposable? Not me.

We should count ourselves very lucky to live in the same moment in history as Sir Roger Scruton and Dr Jordan Peterson.

At will employment is at fault corporation just toss out long term employees for cheaper illegals then they lie or trash you for no reason and tell you straight out if you don't like it go get a job somewhere else. If you want to get raises it's only what the market can bear if your longer term its generally nothing. Done getting screwed, no more.
