Opis

Professor Bandman presents a philosophical argument in answer to the question, How do we justifiably bring up our children? Bandman suggests that the status of children's rights in collusion with the method by which children are raised result in the strength and breadth of our rights as adults. This is an eminently worthwhile study, involving the interests of younger and older people alike, engaging us all in reflective examination of issues right at our doorsteps.
