On January 12, 2020, Sir Roger Scruton died after a six-month struggle with cancer. We thought it appropriate to gather some of our contributors to offer reflections on the man and his achievements, and to draw attention to the many appearances he has made in this space. Our three reflections include:

Sir Roger was also a longtime friend of Law & Liberty, appearing four times on our podcast:

We were also glad to post this address “Tradition, Culture, and Citizenship” that he delivered at the second meeting of the St. John’s University’s Center for Law and Religion’s Tradition Project.

Finally, Scruton’s works were a regular topic for essays and debate, and some of the best of these essays include the following:
