About the Foundation
‘It is right and just and reasonable to live for vanished things.’
- Roger Scruton, On Hunting
The Roger Scruton Legacy Foundation is the centre of an international network of institutions and scholars dedicated to furthering the philosophical and cultural achievements of the West championed in Scruton’s work. Through the hosting and sponsoring of events, lectures, seminars, research and projects, the RSLF supports those dedicated to the achievements of Western philosophy, architecture, art and literature who are committed to living for ‘the vanished things’ and teaching our great inheritance to the rising generations.
The mission of the Roger Scruton Legacy Foundation is to establish the legacy of Sir Roger Scruton through supporting the conservation, care and continuation of humane wisdom and culture from the Western tradition.
The Roger Scruton Legacy Foundation is formally comprised of two companies, each with charitable status, one incorporated in the United Kingdom and one in the United States. Each has an independent Board of Directors, whose role is to develop and implement the projects of the Foundation in their respective jurisdictions. Those Boards are assisted by Advisory Boards which are common to both companies.
