by Gilbert McInnis (Introduction by), Paul Goodman (Author)
In The Moral Ambiguity of America, Goodman clearly reveals his postwar disenchantment with Enlightenment conceptions of science, technology, truth, knowledge, and power relations. This book also provides an insightful look at Goodman's involvement with the student movements of the tumultuous 1960s, and it offers an excellent evaluation of those models of participatory democracy that many groups developed from Goodman's ideas.
Author Biography
Paul Goodman (September 9, 1911 - August 2, 1972) was an American sociologist, poet, writer, anarchist, and public intellectual. Goodman is now mainly remembered as the author of Growing Up Absurd (1960) and an activist in the 1960s and an inspiration to that era's student movement. He graduated from The City College of New York and completed his Ph.D. work at the University of Chicago. (He was not officially awarded his Ph.D. until 1953).
