Omschrijving
'A lucid and sophisticated treatment of a question we all share a stake in: Ought there be future generations? Carving out a conversation about parenthood and the future that’s undisturbed by the warping effects of the culture wars, the book ably addresses contemporary challenges to parenthood – both practical and political – while developing its own optimistic case for human life.'―Elizabeth Bruenig, The Atlantic

'In their widely researched and patiently argued book, Berg and Wiseman show how competing ideas about freedom, happiness, love, dignity, and justice attach to the increasingly ambivalent acts of having and raising children. What Are Children For? models the curiosity and the skepticism we need to imagine a collective future in dark times.'―Merve Emre, The New Yorker
'By far the most honest, unsentimental, unpredictable, and rigorously thoughtful exploration of parenting that I have ever read. Berg and Wiseman’s debut is a much-needed and impressively original inquiry into a topic that is almost always treated in deadeningly stale terms.'―Becca Rothfeld, The Washington Post
'An incisive look at a monumental life choice.'―Publishers Weekly
'This is a brave, lucid book, and Berg and Wiseman deserve great credit for their readiness to ask tough questions.'―Kirkus Reviews
