Отцовство

The mystery of the relationship between father and daughter - before and after her birth - is the intensely dramatic plot of this book, written on a documentary basis. Philosophical reflections, combined with the facts of personal life, allow one to experience the birth and growth of a child as the greatest mystery of love and creativity. The book traces the main milestones of infant development (play, speech, self-awareness) and places them in a broad literary and intellectual context (thoughts about love, femininity, fatherhood in Dante, Shakespeare, Vl. Solovyov, N. Berdyaev ...). The book is intended for educators, psychologists, philosophers, as well as for all parents who want to better understand their vocation. The book can be used for family reading, as a manual for the spiritual care of a newborn. The author of the book is a well-known philologist and philosopher, professor at Emory University (Atlanta, USA), father of four children.
