HOW TO BE A CONSERVATIVE

Book ID/图书代码： 02000015B83986

English Summary/英文概要： What does it mean to be a conservative in an age so sceptical of conservatism? How can we live in the presence of our ’canonized forefathers’ at a time when their cultural, religious and political bequest is so routinely rejected? With soft left-liberalism as the dominant force in Western politics, what can conservatives now contribute to public debate that will not be dismissed as pure nostalgia? In this highly personal and witty book, renowned philosopher Roger Scruton explains how to live as a conservative in spite of the pressures to exist otherwise. Drawing on his own experience as a counter-cultural presence in public life, Scruton argues that while humanity might survive in the absence of the conservative outlook, it certainly won t flourish. How to be a Conservative is not only a blueprint for modern conservatism. It is a heartfelt appeal on behalf of old fashioned decencies and values, which are the bedrock of our weakened, but still enduring civilization.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在一个对保守主义充满质疑态度的时代，成为一名保守派意味着什么？我们的父辈所留下的文化、宗教及政治“遗产”遭到习惯性的拒绝，在这样一个时代下，我们该如何生存？在自由主义和左翼党占据西方政治统治地位的今天，保守派可以在公众辩论中贡献什么、而又不会遭到否定？在这本及其个性化的、诙谐的著作中，著名哲学家Roger Scruton解释了作为一名保守派如何抵挡舆论的压力、如何生存。借鉴自身与当下文化抗衡的经历，Scruton认为，尽管人类在没有保守观点的情况下可以存活，但绝对不会繁荣昌盛。《如何成为一名保守派》不仅是现代保守主义的蓝图，更是对传统行为准则及价值观的发自内心的呼吁。（LYR）
