Riassunto

This book attempts something apparently unusual in sociology: a discussion of the family in the context of traditional ideas of "the good", "virtue" and "morality". The book is timely, because family relationships are in distress, and it offers an analysis and proposes possibly helpful solutions. This is a balanced approach to the subject. Porter strives in every section to be comprehensive, to consider pros and cons, to take account of the pluralism of modern family life. The balance between male and female, old and young, parents and children in her examples is kept throughout. There is a constant attempt to show that people are, in society at large, what they are in their families, and that families are important because they are the place where human beings are made.
