Paul Goodman Died at 60 After Influential 1960s Voice
Paul Goodman, a provocative writer whose book Growing Up Absurd shaped college debate in the early 1960s, died last week at 60. A prolific critic of conformity, he valued individual freedom, rejected state authority, and lived in poverty with a common-law partner while urging youth to drop out of dehumanizing social systems. His influence waned as politics shifted, though his critique of government and war remains a landmark amid 1960s ferment.
