Finished reading: The Unbroken Thread by Sohrab Ahmari 📚

I expected a more direct treatment of tradition, whereas Ahmari’s book is really a collection of vignettes from significant figures (e.g., C. S. Lewis, Abraham Joshua Heschel, Howard Thurman, Alexander Solzhenitsyn) that are used to answer the title question of each chapter. (And which, I suppose, when taken together offer a cumulative case for “the wisdom of tradition.") Even so, it was a page-turner. Ahmari’s storytelling ability is impressive.
