Roger Scruton is Visiting Professor of Philosophy at Birkbeck College, University of London.

His latest book is 'The West and the Rest' (subtitled 'Globalization and the Terrorist Threat'), ISI Books, 2002.

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'.
