Paul Goodman was born on September 9, 1911 in the United States. He was a prominent anarchist philosopher, pacifist, poet, novelist, and playwright, known primarily for his contribution to the anarchist movement through his writings and activism.

His seminal work, 'Growing Up Absurd: Problems of Youth in the Organized System', is a critique of modern society and education, and has been influential in shaping the discourse on these topics. He was deeply involved in the anti-war movement during the Vietnam War, and advocated for decentralization, community-controlled resources, and the abolishment of state power. Goodman passed away on August 2, 1972 leaving behind a rich legacy of political thought that continues to inspire activists and thinkers today.
