I can't judge the book, but the concept of "identities" is not grounded in science. How the latter can develop in such environment? Lack of option to publicly discuss such topics (this one itself is pretty much public already) with a book as a medium, is very strange and I can't imagine other reasons of banning it on Amazon, other than political ones...
- Blikkentrekker 6y agoThe concept of “identities” is grounded no more or less in science than about any else dealt with in psychiatry or psychology, to be honest. It is certainly not exact science, it is certainly not hard science, and one may in fact debate whether it can be called “science” at all, but it's certainly not any different from the standard of rigor generally employed in such fields. It also isn't much different than many of the abstractions used in, say, linguistics, which are very much in want of any actual definition.
- threatofrain 6y agoThe concept of identity is useful insofar as a person remains stable throughout their lifespan. We don’t expect people to be chaotically random or perfectly ordered.
