"The Institution of Parenthood" is a classic sociological work on marriage, childbirth, and family. It was compiled and written based on lectures given by Mr. Fei Xiaotong at Southwest Associated University and Yunnan University, and is considered one of his most accomplished works. The institution of parenthood refers to the set of norms and activities involved when men and women become husband and wife, have children, and raise them together to adulthood. Mr. Fei Xiaotong meticulously explains the essence of the institution of parenthood, such as how childbirth is a selfless act that benefits others; how marriage is society's means of assigning parents to children; and how the family is a fundamental social institution, among other insights. This work overturns long-held conventional views on marriage, childbirth, and family, offering a profound and clear perspective for understanding and viewing current issues related to marriage and childbirth.
This new edition features a dedicated introduction by Li Yinhe titled "To Have or Not to Have Children, Understand the Rules of the Game," and includes a new mind map of the entire book, making it easier for readers to grasp the book's structure and key ideas.
