Problematic Rebel: An Image of Modern Man (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258232641)

""Problematic Rebel: An Image of Modern Man"" by Maurice S. Friedman is a thought-provoking book that explores the complexities of modern masculinity. The author argues that contemporary society has created a problematic image of the ""rebel"" as a hyper-masculine and individualistic figure, which can lead to destructive behavior and a lack of empathy for others. Friedman delves into the historical and cultural roots of this image, examining how it has evolved over time and how it is perpetuated through media and popular culture. He also offers alternative visions of masculinity that prioritize compassion, community, and social responsibility. Throughout the book, Friedman draws on a range of sources, including literature, philosophy, psychology, and sociology, to support his arguments. He also includes personal anecdotes and interviews with men from diverse backgrounds to provide a nuanced and multifaceted perspective on the topic. Overall, ""Problematic Rebel"" is a timely and insightful exploration of the challenges facing modern men and the importance of redefining masculinity in more positive and inclusive ways.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
