“Do It Because I Said So” Why Children Should Not Obey Adults In Everything Pravmir.com Portal

It seems somewhat of a marvel that the topic of intelligent disobedience should be raised in cultures traditionally high on the authoritarian scale.

Even so, there are already Chinese and Russian editions of my book Intelligent Disobedience: Doing Right When What You’re Told To Do Is Wrong.

Intelligent Disobedience
Chinese Edition
East China Normal University Press

Intelligent Disobedience
Russian Edition
Alpina Publisher

Along with these publications, PRAVMIR, the most visited Orthodox Christian website in Russia, posted an article summarizing parts of the book (original post in Russian).

Google Translate allows the translation of any original text into multiple languages. This link is the result of the translation of the article into English. You can expect to find grammatical errors, and words and ideas that are poorly translated. However, it is important enough that these ideas are communicated in many cultures sharing this text even if it is imperfect. I encourage you to try it.
