Seven Types of Atheism
Autor John Grayen Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 mar 2019
WINNER OF THE CATHOLIC HERALD BOOK AWARD FOR RELIGION AND THEOLOGY
ANEW STATESMANBOOK OF THE YEAR 2019
'Wonderful ... one of the few books that I started to reread a couple of minutes after I'd finished it.' - Melvyn Bragg
A meditation on the importance of atheism in the modern world - and its inadequacies and contradictions - by one of Britain's leading philosophers
'When you explore older atheisms, you will find some of your firmest convictions - secular or religious - are highly questionable. If this prospect disturbs you, what you are looking for may be freedomfromthought.'
For a generation now, public debate has been corroded by a narrow derision of religion in the name of an often very vaguely understood 'science'. John Gray's stimulating and extremely enjoyable new book describes the rich, complex world of the atheist tradition, a tradition which he sees as in many ways as rich as that of religion itself, as well as being deeply intertwined with what is so often crudely viewed as its 'opposite'.
The result is a book that sheds an extraordinary and varied light on what it is to be human and on the thinkers who have, at different times and places, battled to understand this issue.

Recenzii de la cititorii Books Express
Diana Leon a dat nota:
Interesanta cartea si ofera o perspectiva diferita asupra ateismului, este o carte subtire dar bogata in informatie poate are un limbaj cam de stufos m-am chinuit sa citesc de mai multe ori o fraza ca sa o inteleg. Totuși, cartea m-a făcut să mă gândesc foarte mult la diferitele direcții ale ateismului. Cartea se invarte in jurul idee că mulți dintre atei sunt practic o altă versiune a poveștii creștinismului. Pe de alta parte, Cartea acoperă sfera și caracterul modurilor în care oamenii reflectă in esența despre viețile lor drept urmare, este cu adevărat iluminant, abundent în fragmente fascinante de materiale istorice și biografice. In fond cartea oferă un caleidoscop despre gânditori radical diferiți, concentrându-se pe viețile și conceptualizările lor despre existența umană prezentate de Gray într-o manieră profund umană, experiențele și ideile lor nu pot decât să rămână în mintea ta și să te facă să te minunezi de diversitatea ciudată inerentă vieții umane și a gândirii umane
