To believe in something without any foundation is to be lost without direction. Some men are indeed at ease and comfortable with not having to undertake in the laborious work of thinking. Why think if others will easily undertake such irksome work? Many men will not dare seek the limits of their beliefs or seek to expand beyond that which is already known, which represents the majority of mankind.

You then have those who seek to explore the depths and boundaries of our understanding, embarking on an epistemological journey in search of justified beliefs to help the masses gauge their utility. Sir Roger Scruton was one such man, steeped in a foundation of political thought that denotes centuries of reflections, ideas, and engagements about human behavior.
