Ahmari offers twelve questions for us to grapple with â twelve timeless, fundamental queries that challenge our modern certainties. Among them: Is God reasonable? What is freedom for? What do we owe our parents, our bodies, one another?
What The Reviewers Say
Ahmari urges people to honor their parents, not to expect always to think for themselves and to grasp that religious and sexual liberty mask 'deeper unfreedom.' A final chapter recalls advice from Seneca, the Stoic philosopher who tutored Nero, not to worry unduly about death.
An easy going, ecumenical, rather cosmopolitan tour of 12 moral questions and select thinkers who responded to each of them.
Ahmari argues in this sweeping work that the West needs to re-engage more meaningfully with religious traditions in order to flourish.
