Based on the blurb and the title, I came into this book expecting an academic discussion of childism, in the same way that one might discuss racism, sexism, and so on: what is it, what is it based on, what are the rationalizations invoked for it, and so on. Instead I found what is mostly an examination of the history of child abuse research, as well as specific cases. The cases were very interesting but on the whole there is only one chapter (chapter 1) dedicated to examining what childism is all about. So I was very disappointed by the book because of this.… (más)

Had high hopes for this volume from a public policy analysis perspective, but it was way to Freudian for me, so I spent a couple of hours skimming. If you are a clinician or a patient who really, really likes a traditional psychoanalytical approach to human behavior, albeit with a feminist bent, then this is the volume for you. Otherwise, meh.

As a former student of Arendt, Young-Bruehl writes in a tone that is deeply reverent but likewise stern and academic. That said, this work provides an accessible introduction to Arendt's work with an overview of her best-known works. Her discussion of The Human Condition made me want to read it again, while the one on Origins of Totalitarianism reminded me of why I could barely get through for its dense and thorough scholarship. The last section of Young-Bruehl's work on the unfinished The Life of the Mind, described as something of a follow-up to The Human Condition and a "dialogue" between Kant, Socrates, and St. Augustine, inspired me to pick it up, however intellectually intimidating. But the nice surprise about Arendt is her remarkable ability to take so much of the western philosophical tradition and be lucid about it. Such skill can only come from someone who seems to have read just about everything and who really understands what is being said, what is not being said, and most importantly, what could be said, about many ideas.… (más)
