Sohrab Ahmari on Liberalism, Tradition, and Political Catholicism—Part Two
The second half of our conversation with the journalist and author.
Published on: May 25, 2021  

The second half of Shadi and Damir's wide-ranging conversation with Sohrab Ahmari, author of the new book The Unbroken Thread: Discovering the Wisdom of Tradition in an Age of Chaos. The conversation picks up where it left off, with Sohrab discussing whether a less dogmatic liberalism can accommodate tradition, or whether a new framework is required entirely. He also discusses why he has gained new respect for Islam since his conversion to Catholicism, the problem with Founders-worship, and why he no longer considers himself a conservative.

In case you missed it, Part one of the conversation with Sohrab is available here.
