  What do we mean, and what ought we mean by culture ? In this book, Roger Scruton argues for the religious origin of culture in all its forms, and mounts a defence of the high culture of our civilization against its radical and deconstructionist critics. He offers a theory of pop culture, a panegyric to Baudelaire, a few reasons why Wagner is just as great as his critics fear him to be, and a raspberry to Cool Britannia.
