Douglas Murray on Roger Scruton memorial Lecture on the topic of beuty said:But of course it's Roger's, great hero Emmanuel Kant who takes us another step further for Kent,of course believed that certain things transcend. Our understanding God may well be one of them. So was the transcendental in general As he says, the only way to understand the transcendental is to flip them from theoretical to practical reason to recognise that we are wrong to think that we can have knowledge about the transcendental. But right to think that when we reach this limit, there is still somewhere else to go.

We should step sideways as it were recognised. That reason does not merely describe the world but also commands us to change it. And really, the invocation of the transcendental is a reminder. That reason knows the world in another way as a sphere of action in which we can freely change the way things are.

This was at the heart of Roger's own understanding of aesthetics and the question of beauty that it speaks of something whereoff. We can not speak but which we look to and yearn for, and that yearning tells us something. And that's something may, in fact, be the thing in the main fact, be the key to everything .
