Sir Roger Scruton (1944-2020) was one of the most distinguished polymaths of modern times. His work ranged over philosophy, music and aesthetics to politics, religion and law. This inaugural series of free public lectures promoted his legacy by inviting eminent public intellectuals to speak on four topics within an overarching theme. The theme for 2021 was ‘Nation and Civilisation’.
Each lecture was held at the Sheldonian Theatre in Oxford in October 2021.
