His vision starts as a moral and political project, but then goes on to turn into a theory of culture, education and aesthetic experience. Although the project was originally intended as devoid of any religious justification, it is possible to see religion as a complement or an equivalent to the conservative attitude, as it is expressed in private life. Religious language can be understood as a useful, personal, symbolic expression of the conservative attitude to life. Scruton also undertook to defend the humane face of philosophy, by which I mean his conviction that philosophy should resist reductive tendencies of natural science, and instead should strive to develop better understanding of the essential works of art and literature known in the Western canon.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={The world in the eyes of a conservative}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/116188/PDF/2020-01-PFIL-08-Kowalik.pdf}, doi={10.24425/pfns.2020.132973}, keywords={R.
