Discussion
1. Philosopher Roger Scruton argues that the contemplation of beauty provides a different sort of pleasure than the satisfaction of desire. How is contemplation different from desire?
2. What is Scruton's criticism of film as a medium? In other words, why is difficult to make a film that is truly a work of art?
3. Scruton also argues that taste in art, music, film, etc. is not merely subjective. What is the basis for saying that one work of art is better, more beautiful or pleasing, than another?
