Anti-Natalism: Rejectionist Philosophy from Buddhism to Benatar

Every birth brings with it pain, suffering and death.

Are life's joys and pleasures worth its costs? This book examines a set of perspectives - religious, philosophical, and literary - which find human existence deeply flawed and unacceptable.

Its modern expression by philosophers Benatar and Zapffe as anti-natalism needs to be taken seriously in our choice whether to procreate or not.
