For another perspective on the mind of Scruton, here's a video he did as part of a series for the BBC on the Beauty of Art:

It was a fun outing yesterday! And the video link is great. I may have to poach it and put it on my blog... Love what he has to say about art and it's obligation toward truth. The Good, the True, and the Beautiful - all components of the same thing. Thanks for sharing.
