Seven Types of Atheism

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.

De acum o generatie, dezbaterea publica a fost corodata de o derizorie ingusta a religiei in numele unei „stiinte” deseori foarte vag intelese. Noua carte stimulatoare si extrem de placuta a lui John Gray descrie lumea bogata si complexa a traditiei ateiste, o traditie pe care o vede la fel de bogata ca aceea a religiei in sine, precum si fiind profund legata de ceea ce este atat de des considerat grosolan ca „opusul” sau. Rezultatul este o carte care arunca o lumina extraordinara si variata asupra a ceea ce inseamna a fi om si a ganditorilor care, in momente si locuri diferite, s-au luptat pentru a intelege aceasta problema.
