Prelude

The Cambridge Scrutonian Society is a discussion group of undergraduate and postgraduate students, STEM and humanities. We are named after the late English writer, Roger Scruton, who wrote over sixty books, fiction and non-fiction on topics ranging from the philosophy of wine, architecture, literary criticism, musicology, English country farming, the sense of the sacred, opera, sexual ethics, and the philosophical significance of neuroscience.

Our society is for those interested in developing such a polymath range of interests as well as broadening their perspective on their own subject. To that end, we invite a wide variety of speakers, often figures with whom Scruton in some manner worked, and host discussion groups on selections of Scruton’s writings.
