@Bunyip I haven’t gotten too far into Scruton’s A Short History but it just seems like a generic synopsis of normie philosophy. I tried to track down Scruton’s Aesthetics of Architecture but it was checked out
Yeah I'm pro religious pluralism.

@clossington most short histories seem normie, just the nature of the style. If you do keep reading it let me know how he covers the continentals, I've been told he struggles making sense of Hegel and Heidegger.
I don’t think he goes over Heidegger in my book
>goes over modern philosophy
>doesn't cover one of the greatest German thinkers
very homogay
Scruton isn’t particularly great on modern philosophy
But he wasn’t supposed to be
he knows Kant quite well
Didn’t he subscribe to most of Kant’s ethos?
<:GWaobloChildPepeShrug:407618817569718272> I read his introduction to Kant and liked it
thats about as far as i went
In his Why Beauty Matters documentary, he gushed over Kant
yes
still if one talks about a history of modern philosophy Heidegger is a big name and not covering him shows you as inept to some degree
Heidegger goes over natural beauty and natural order very thoroughly iirc
It’s a shame Scruton probably never read it
iirc Scruton made a comment something like "If Heidegger is saying something it is brilliant however if he is merely rambling about nonsense then it means very little, and it can be hard to tell which is it"
don't quote me on it tho
>Heidegger goes over natural beauty and natural order very thoroughly iirc
he goes over poetry and by extension beauty extensively in his later work, normally going back to the oldest Greeks for inspiration
Didn’t Heidegger hate aesthetics or aestheticism?
