Seven Types of Atheism: INTERNATIONAL EDITION

Autor John Gray
Notă:  3.00 · o notă - 1 recenzie 
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 oct 2018

From the provocative intellectual author of The Soul of the Marionette comes an incisive, surprising intervention in the political and scientific debate over religion and atheism

When you explore older atheisms, you will find that some of your firmest convictions--secular or religious--are highly questionable. If this prospect disturbs you, what you are looking for may be freedom from thought.

For a generation now, public debate has been corroded by a shrill, narrow derision of religion in the name of an often vaguely understood "science." John Gray's stimulating and enjoyable new book, Seven Types of Atheism, describes the complex, dynamic world of older atheisms, a tradition that is, he writes, in many ways intertwined with and as rich as religion itself.

Along a spectrum that ranges from the convictions of "God-haters" like the Marquis de Sade to the mysticism of Arthur Schopenhauer, from Bertrand Russell's search for truth in mathematics to secular political religions like Jacobinism and Nazism, Gray explores the various ways great minds have attempted to understand the questions of salvation, purpose, progress, and evil. The result is a book that sheds an extraordinary light on what it is to be human.

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

Recenzii

Wonderful ... the range, thoughtfulness and trenchant sense of Gray's sweep across the centuries of thought is wholly exhilarating ... one of the few books that I started to reread a couple of minutes after I'd finished it.
Pithy and revelatory

SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
WINNER OF THE CATHOLIC HERALD BOOK AWARD FOR RELIGION AND THEOLOGY
A NEW STATESMAN BOOK 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 freedom from thought.'
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.
