Scruton, notably, specialized in aesthetics. He and Santayana are conservative philosophers to be taken seriously.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sense_of_Beauty

According to Santayana, beauty is linked to pleasure, and is fundamental to human purpose and experience. Beauty does not originate from pleasurable experiences, by itself, or from the objects that bring about pleasure. It is when the experience and emotion of pleasure intertwines with the qualities of the object that beauty arises. Beauty is a "manifestation of perfection", and as Santayana writes, "the sense of beauty has a more important place in life than aesthetic theory has ever taken in philosophy."
