The essays in Religious Upbringing and the Costs of Freedom are
the personal stories of philosophers who were brought up
religiously and have broken free, in one way or another, from
restraint and oppression. As trained philosophers, they are well
equipped to reflect on and analyze their experiences. In this book,
they offer not only stories of stress and liberation but
ruminations on the moral issues that arise when parents and other
caregivers, in seeking to do good by their children, sometimes end
up doing real harm to their personal development and sense of
autonomy as individuals.
In addition to the editors, the contributors are Raymond D.
Bradley, Damien Alexander DuPont, Diane Enns, Paul H. Hirst, Amalia
Jiva, Irfan Khawaja, Christine Overall, Tasia R. Persson, and Glen
Pettigrove.
