The sun shines and we are miraculously revived. The sun shines and the flower beams, the leaves bloom and the grass grows. The sun shines and our weary world surges with life to become a thing of beauty.

← To sit and watch the sun ascend is not only to ponder the vastness of our universe but to know that all things can be made new. No matter how dark the road or endless the night, there is always a new day. No matter what our plight, a fresh dawn is never too far away. No matter where life leads us or where our journey takes us, the sunrise will inevitably follow. Is love not miraculous? After all, Christ did not instruct us to heal, cure and raise others from the dead. He commanded us simply to love. Love leads to the miracle of new life. It binds people together until they finally rest side by side in the soil. In the unconditional love of a parent for a child, we see something so miraculous that it can soften the hardest heart. →

New Book – Amazon.co.uk Bestseller!

Against the Tide is the definitive edition of the late Sir Roger Scruton's philosophical and political essays and reviews, now collected in one volume edited by Mark Dooley, Scruton's Literary Executor.  Right up until the last essay in this book ('My Year 2019'), Scruton proves himself to be at his most scintillating and controversial. He writes with passion and conviction about such varied topics as feminism, racism, fascism, Tony Blair and Donald Trump. In all cases he takes aim at those who defy conservative common sense in favour of liberal falsehoods. But with polymathic intelligence, he also writes of Michel Foucault, Male Domination, The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Monumental Egos and The Trump of Nothingness.  This book shows Scruton at his most brilliant and demonstrates how his influence will remain strong and will last. Like Christopher Hitchens' final collection And Yet, this new collection shows a writer at the height of his intellectual powers whose works will provide a philosophical legacy for many years to come.
