Recenzii
This is a rich and reflective book, based on wide reading and personal experience.
Whatever Happened to Tradition? is stuffed with marvellous vignettes. the reader is left feeling grateful for the abundance of knowledge and the ebullient conviction with which it is shared.
The writer he most resembles is Roger Scruton. Since Scruton died last year, there is a vacancy for a political philosopher who will defend the traditions of this nation with all his heart and all his considerable brain. I suspect we may have found his successor.
This book is brilliant. It's really radical in a way that all the other stuff that says it's radical is not. It really gives you an idea that there is something else outside this airless bubble of the self we are stuck in today. I find that kind of inspiring.
He persuasively presents tradition as rooting us in the world and in society, and as subtly adaptable.
Roger Scruton's death deprived public discourse of its most intelligent and cogent defender of tradition, but Tim Stanley's Whatever Happened to Tradition? steps bravely into the breach.
Tim Stanley suggests in his engaging way that fidelity to the past determines future happiness - for our civilisation, not just our souls.
The book is warmly recommended...it is full of fascinating fact and anecdotes...it is such a refreshing challenge to the sad and lazy assumptions of our age.
