{"product_id":"intelligent-guide-to-modern-culture-roger-scruton-9781890318475","title":"Intelligent Guide to Modern Culture","description":"Received by the British press with equal acclaim and indignation, this book sets out to define and defend high culture against the world of pop, corn, and popcorn. It shows just why culture matters in an age without faith, and gives an extended argument, drawing on philosophy, criticism, and anthropology, against the \"post-modernist\" world-view. Scruton offers a penetrating attack on deconstruction, on Foucault, on Nietzschean self-indulgence, and on the \"culture of repudiation\" which has infected the modern academy. But his book is not only negative. It is a celebration of the true heroes of modern culture and a call to the higher life.\u003cp\u003eThe American edition of this famous and notorious work has been revised to take account of the controversy which it has inspired, and contains new material specially directed to Americans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roger Scruton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1890318477\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781890318475\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Augustine's Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/25\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.32h x 6.24w x 0.72d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2000 pg. 1818\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roger Scruton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43991170777343,"sku":"9781890318475","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a83c8688-bc20-4f07-b0a8-618c40254290.jpg?v=1683308842","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/intelligent-guide-to-modern-culture-roger-scruton-9781890318475","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
