Author: Susan Neiman Narrator: Leslie Howard Format: mp3 Length: 5 hrs and 35 mins Release date: 06-12-19 Ratings: 4 out of 5 stars, 13 ratings Genres: Society Publisher's Summary: The philosopher Susan Neiman argues that the absence of appealing models of maturity is not an accident: By describing life as a downhill process, we prepare young people to expect - and demand - very little from it. In Why Grow Up?, she challenges our culture of permanent adolescence, turning to thinkers including Kant, Rousseau, and Arendt to find a model of maturity that is not a matter of resignation. In growing up, we move from the boundless trust of childhood to the peculiar mixture of disappointment and exhilaration that comes with adolescence.
