On Wednesday July 17 Prof. Scruton gave an introduction to his book at a talk at the Civitas Institute, attended by a significant group of journalists, academics, politicians and myself. Civitas says about itself, 'The Institute's research programme focuses on four areas: health, welfare, education and the family, each underpinned by a single unifying theme: deepening public understanding of the institutions, beliefs and values which are fundamental to a free and democratic society'.
