Critiques of God
Edited by Peter Angeles. Published by Prometheus Books.
Is it possible to make a case against the reasonableness
and rationality of a belief in the existence of a god? Peter Angeles
certainly thinks so, and to that end he edited a volume of essays
which make that argument from a wide variety of perspectives and
ideologies. This book is comprised of sixteen
essays from writers like John Dewey, Paul Edwards, Antony Flew,
Sigmund Freud, Erich Fromm, Sidney Hook, Walter Kaufmann, Corliss
Lamont, Ernest Nagel, Kai Nielsen, Bertrand Russell, Michael Scriven
and more. They address topics like arguments for God's existence,
the validity of mystical experiences, reason and science, the importance
of the God for the development of morality and meaning in life,
and other issues.
