Why Home Still Matters in a Rootless Age
Think of the last time you defended something simply because it was *yours*-not because it was perfect, but because it belonged to you. Maybe it was a neighborhood coffee shop threatened by a chain, or a family tradition others found outdated. That instinct, that fierce protectiveness of the familiar, reveals something profound about human nature that political theory often misses. Conservatism isn't about resisting all change or clinging to power-it's about recognizing that the things we love are fragile, that what took generations to build can be destroyed in an afternoon, and that sometimes the most radical act is simply to preserve what works. This philosophy begins not in abstract principles but in lived experience. Growing up in a working-class household where his father voted Labour yet fought developers to protect local architecture, Scruton learned that people naturally become conservative about what they truly understand. His father wasn't defending aristocratic privilege-he was defending *home*. That distinction matters. When Parisian students in 1968 attacked "bourgeois civilization" while enjoying its freedoms, Scruton realized they were assaulting the very foundations that made their protest possible. What they dismissed as oppressive tradition was actually the scaffolding holding up a decent society.
