Description

The War for Children's Minds by Stephen Law is a candid and controversial call for a liberal, philosophically informed approach to raising children. In this thought-provoking book, Law tackles authoritarian rhetoric head-on, arguing that children should learn about right and wrong, and respect for others, but that their education should be grounded in the hard-won values of the Enlightenment. Law takes on neo-conservatives and religious commentators, making a staunch defence of the humane, liberal life. This timely guide addresses an urgent moral conundrum, urging readers to re-evaluate the liberal tradition of thinking about morality. By exploring the importance of Enlightenment values in education, Law offers a fresh perspective on how we can raise good children and make good citizens.
