Reviews

Being Born is an excellent contribution to overcoming the philosophical neglect around being born. . . . This book is a rare gem because Stone examines being born within the framework of existential philosophy. . . . an excellent resource for anyone who is interested in philosophical reflections on birth. . . . Alison Stone provides valuable insights into how the meaningful structure of our existence is conditioned by being born. She also offers a fresh perspective on the philosophical concept of mortality as related to natality. * Olena Kushyna, Journal of Political Power *
