O knihe
The aim of this book is to question the standard Christian narrative about procreation. It explores a number of philosophical arguments for anti-natalism and argues that many of them are compatible with Christianity. It also develops a risk-based argument suggesting that even a slight possibility of one’s children going to hell should give prospective parents pause. Undergirding these ideas is the uncontroversial assumption that in most cases Christians should be concerned with preventing harm. The book also features work on the history of anti-natalism, especially within Christianity, and concludes by addressing an extensive number of objections.
Kirk Lougheed is Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Center for Research on Faith and Human Flourishing at LCC International University.
