Begetting: What Does It Mean to Create a Child? by Mara Van Der Lugt (Farsi)

Description

Begetting: What Does It Mean to Create a Child? by Mara van der Lugt is a profound philosophical exploration of what it truly means to bring a new human being into the world. The author argues that procreation is not merely a personal choice or a biological fact, but an act deeply tied to ethical, social, and existential questions. Drawing on moral philosophy, she invites readers to reconsider the responsibilities and consequences hidden within the decision to have a child. Rather than offering simple answers, van der Lugt encourages a reflective, multi-layered examination of parenthood. In a world marked by crises and uncertainty, the book asks what it means—morally and emotionally—to create new life.
