'Anyone interested in philosophy should read this book' Nicholas Bagnall, Sunday Telegraph

Roger Scruton is one of the most widely respected philosophers of our time, whose often provocative views never fail to stimulate debate. In Modern Philosophy he turns his attention to the whole of the field, from the philosophy of logic to aesthetics, and in so doing provides us with an essential and comprehensive guide to modern thinking. Considered by many to be the best philosophical primer since Bertrand Russell's THE PROBLEMS OF PHILOSOPHY, this book is a must for both the student and the general reader.
