Modernist buildings exclude dialogue, and the void that they create around themselves is not a public space but a desertification
Roger ScrutonPrivate property is one of the best institutions which has ever evolved, to protect us from the bullying of others.
Roger ScrutonThere’s a real question as to what beauty is and why it’s important to us. Many pseudo-philosophers try to answer these questions and tell us they’re not really answerable. I draw on art and literature, and music in particular, because music is a wonderful example of something that’s in this world but not of this world. Great works of music speak to us from another realm even though they speak to us in ordinary physical sounds.
