"Scruton has approached his project with incisiveness, breath of
knowledge, and clarity of expression. The Uses of Pessimism is
worth arguing over." --Politics & Ideas
"While some of Scruton's conclusions may be controversial... he
does present an intriguing case for using pessimism as a way to
examine issues that affect current society. His clear and
accessible writing will appeal to those familiar with the author's
past works and also those with an interest in philosophy."
--Library Journal
