Paul Goodman is the author of Decentralizing Power and the bestselling Growing Up Absurd. He set the agenda for the youth movement of the 1960s and lectured on subjects ranging from politics, education, and community planning to psychotherapy, religion, and literature.
Paul Goodman has been one of the few integrated and hence liberated people of our age . . . He may well have been the only truly seminal libertarian thinker in our generation. --George Woodcock, historian of anarchism Paul Goodman brought a new invigorating stream into American anarchism, simply through his insistence that in all the problems of daily life we are faced with the possibility of choice between authoritarian and libertarian solutions . . . [This book's] sympathetic editing introduces Goodman's social criticism to a new generation. --Colin Ward, community planner Editor Taylor Stoehr relates how he found in Goodman a man who had found 'another way to live, ' a man whose refusal to conform could shock a young mind back into its best instincts. --Bookforum The important thing about Paul is that he raises the right questions. The fact that most of his answers are brilliant gives the reader an extra bonus. --Dave Dellinger, peace activist and founder, Liberation magazine The core of Goodman's politics was his definition of anarchism . . . He most passionately believed that man must not commit treason against himself, whatever the state--capitalist, socialist, et al--commands. --Nat Hentoff, Village Voice
