THE UNBROKEN THREAD

A serious examination of our postmodern Western culture reveals a paradox at its heart: that the freedoms we enjoy are at odds with the true freedom that comes from the pursuit of the collective good. Sohrab Ahmari explores how some of the most ancient moral problems remain fresh and relevant to our age, asking questions such as what responsibility do we have to our parents, should we think for ourselves, and how do we justify our lives. In this thought-provoking analysis, Ahmari delves into the wisdom of tradition in an age of chaos, drawing on a surprising range of ancient and contemporary thinkers. He examines the tension between individual freedom and collective responsibility, highlighting the need for self-sacrifice and self-control in pursuit of the greater good. Through his examination of these fundamental questions, Ahmari sheds light on the underlying issues that our modern culture has tried to avoid, offering a crystal-clear analysis of the multiple failures of "me-first" contemporary liberalism.
