antrin Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) He used to submit a column in the FT weekend magazine, ostensibly about Philosophy. i read it for a year and was genuinely convinced I was reading a brilliant piss-take of some philosophers/philosophy. it took ages before a pal could convince me that Scruton was being serious and thought HE was a philosopher.
