Culture Counts (Brief Encounters)
Roger Scruton has written an aggressive, provocative, and  persuasive counterattack against the nihilism of modern intellectuals who  would repudiate the high culture of America and the West.- Robert H. BorkBoldly standing up to today's nihilisms and debasements of taste. CULTURE  COUNTS offers a noble and compelling defense of high culture and the  centrality of rich aesthetic experience for a full human life. The wisdom  of Roger Scruton's judgments and the elegance of his prose are themselves  powerful evidence for the truth of his thesis. Bravo.- Leon R.
