Description
Why Grow Up? Subversive Thoughts for an Infantile Age by Susan Neiman
Growing up is often seen as a necessary step towards adulthood, but what if it's not the only option? Internationally-renowned philosopher Susan Neiman argues that maturity is itself an ideal worth striving for. In this thought-provoking book, she explores the forces that resist growth and shows how philosophy can help us want to mature.
Neiman examines childhood, adolescence, sex, culture, and travel as a metaphor for coming of age, asking how these concepts can be used to build a model of maturity that makes growing up a good option. A refreshing challenge to the conventional view of adulthood, Why Grow Up? is a compelling read for anyone looking to rethink their approach to life.
