Recenzii
This book is a highly valuable contribution to practical philosophy. It gets a hugely important topic on the table in a serious way without compromising readability. If you are looking for an engaging and provocative addition to your personal library, or for your ethics or political philosophy courses, I highly recommend this book.
A philosopher's nuanced, unapologetic proposal for a world in environmental crisis.
One Child is hard to resist. Conly starts from a well-developed empirical basis -- multiply-sourced news about the devastation we court, but which she deploys modestly. ... Lucid, engaging, and empirically saturated ... These discussions are wholly pertinent and quite well done
Sarah Conly's book tackles an urgent, under-discussed topic: Is having children an unlimited, personal right? Or is this view no longer tenable in an era of vast increases in human population? Professor Conly rejects unlimited procreation rights and defends a one child per family limit as a moral imperative and perhaps as a legal requirement. This very fine book is clearly written, thorough in its treatment of the issues, and very fair to the opposing views.
...this is a well-crafted book on a very important topic... It is probably laypersons and undergraduate students who will benefit the most from reading this book.
