Great Regulars: Enter an unlikely figure: Roger Scruton,

lawyer, musician, scholar, philosopher and, for almost 40 years, the scourge of the academic left and hammer of the socialists. Intellectually he is not a rightwinger, he is the right wing, devoutly followed by believers in a dangerously beleaguered English conservative tradition. In spite of which here he is with a book--his 42nd--called Green Philosophy: How To Think Seriously About the Planet, a new kind of environmental manifesto.

from Bryan Appleyard: The Sunday Times: Scruton: the Right Wing Green
