History of Antinatalism: How Philosophy Has Challenged the Question of Procreation

Comprehensive and extensive. A great introduction to the world of elfism and antinatalism. No holds barred and so insightful. Should be recommended reading on any philosophy course.

Very good research. I really enjoyed the Antinatalistic quotes from the Holy Bible. It is amusing to tell believers about what Jesus said about getting children. Most people are suprised when I tell them this. This shows to me that even Christians did not read the complete Bible from A to Z.

There is a lot of content here. An A4-sized book. Unfortunately I found the first few chapters very difficult to read. I suspect that this was due to a mixture of obscure abstract philosophy, inexperienced writing, and poor translation and editing. I am post-grad qualified and have grappled with some difficult texts, but often they are difficult because they are poorly written, not because the ideas and concepts are impenetrable. As this was a book I was reading in my leisure time I almost gave up due to the effort of deconstructing each paragraph so I could grasp what was being said. However other chapters later in the book flow more easily and are far more reader friendly. Fortunately each chapter can be digested more or less independently of the others. All authors are clearly very intelligent and insightful. This is a brave effort and I suspect the project had limited time and resources. Overall, well worth the purchase. I also like the cover design.
