Description

"In this 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."--BOOK JACKET.
