Alicja meets with Sir Roger Vernon Scruton at his magnificent estate which he has named “Scrutopia,” the perfect place for her to try to loosen the strong views of this green conservative thinker. Scruton is an English philosopher who specialises in aesthetics and has written more than forty books on philosophy, art, and politics. He rides horses, plays the piano and organ at the Anglican Church and plunges Alicja into rural life.
