The Triumph of the Masses and Roger Scruton
The English are not particularly prone to metaphysical flights of fancy, but they have the virtue of common sense, which they know how to express with clarity and erudition. As a result, they often produce thinkers who appear as beacons when darkness reigns; such was the case with Aldous Huxley during the crisis of the last century and Roger Scruton in the current crisis.
