Synopsis

Paul Goodman set the agenda for the Youth Movement of the Sixties with his best-selling Growing Up Absurd. Under the view that the 1970s presented a moral and spiritual upheaval comparable to the Protestant Reformation, he continued to guide his avid readers. Michael Fisher's introduction situates Goodman in his era and traces the development of his characteristic insights, now common wisdom in the radical critique of Western society.

About this title

Review

"Paul Goodman appears increasingly as our most exemplary intellectual, that is, the most deeply representative and the most worthy one." Theodore Solatoroff, "Washington Post""

"[Goodman's] pleading, sane, frank, troubled and by now tired voice is one of the truest and wisest in American life." ""Kenneth Keniston, "New York Times""

"As a whole, "New Reformation" is in many ways the culmination of Goodman's writing, a synthesis of his ideas, tempered by both age and experience. With the revival of popular interest in his writing, many of his ideas are slowly gaining traction with a new audience." "Fifth Estate" magazine"
