The Betrayal of Tradition: Essays on the Spiritual Crisis of Modernity

This anthology of essays alerts us to the spiritual crisis of modernity and to its root cause the betrayal of tradition. That there is indeed a spiritual crisis will hardly be denied by anyone who has pondered the condition of the contemporary world. These essays by traditionalists and other eminent contemporary thinkers illuminate some common ground and thereby help to dispel false charges sometimes levelled at traditionalist authors that they are out of touch with the contemporary world. The essential message of tradition is timeless and thus ever new ever fresh and always germane to both our immediate condition and to our ultimate destiny.
