In these interviews, Roger Scruton reveals what life was like growing up in High Wycombe, how he survived Cambridge and how he came to hold his conservative outlook. He tells of his rise to prominence while writing for 'The Times' and sheds light on his campaign on behalf of underground dissidents in Eastern Europe. Ranging across topics as diverse as the current state of British philosophy, music and religion, and illuminating what lay behind his abandonment of academia for his new life on a Wiltshire farm, these conversations provide an intimate portrait of a writer who has felt philosophy as a vocation and whose defence of unfashionable causes has brought him a wide readership in Britain and around the world.
