This study contains a series of theoretical reflections inspired by empirical research into the ethical dilemmas of life in contradiction-ridden postmodern America. It looks at hospital birth, special education, Gen X, community-based anti-crime policy, public intellectuals, and mass death.

Table of Contents
Lifeworld-grounded critical theory; mass birth - the lifeworld begins in the system; dried beans and Beethoven - the art of parenting the ineffable; Generation X - an essay on liberation; defensible space and the birth of neighbourhood panopticonism in Dayton, Ohio; dystopian elements in Richard Rorty's liberal utopia; mass death - exterminism, extinction, execution and excrement, et cetera, at the fin de siecle; why theorize?
