The Moral Ambiguity of America
The Moral Ambiguity of America | Paul Goodman
1 post | 1 read
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.

This is a long lecture that Goodman gave in Canada that was adapted to book form. It can be thought of as a sort of follow up to his book, Growing Up Absurd, but deals a bit more with his thoughts on the state of democracy in 1960s America (he's not altogether optimistic, but certainly not fatalistic).
