The late Sir Roger Scruton is the kind of conservative thinker I deeply admire even though I disagree with him on a number of key ideas. I came across a brief talk from him today on The Tyranny of Pop Music which is full of brilliant insights, brilliantly expressed, yet there are moments when I reckon he doesn't really convince, essentially due to his limited knowledge of the field. The great thing is that encountering and sometimes being challenged by such thinkers forces one to think even more deeply about one's fundamental prejudices, predilections and presumptions.
