Torres puts forth one of the most comprehensive and accessible arguments for the claim that theism is false and faith-based belief is foolish. Drawing from many disparate fields, he attacks the theistic position from multiple angles, delineating established arguments against God's existence, but also explores topics that no other atheists have considered.

A thorough and hard-hitting critique that is a must read for anyone interested in the interaction between religion and science. It has become the prevalent view among sociologists, historians, and some theistic scientists that religion and science have never been in serious conflict. Some even claim that Christianity was responsible for the development of science. In a sweeping historical survey that begins with ancient Greek science and proceeds through the Renaissance and Enlightenment to contemporary advances in physics and cosmology, Stenger makes a convincing case that not only is this conclusion false, but Christianity actually held back the progress of science for one thousand years. It is significant, he notes, that the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century occurred only after the revolts against established ecclesiastic authorities in the Renaissance and Reformation opened up new avenues of thought. The author goes on to detail how religion and science are fundamentally incompatible in several areas: the origin of the universe and its physical parameters, the origin of complexity, holism versus reductionism, the nature of mind and consciousness, and the source of morality. In the end, Stenger is most troubled by the negative influence that organized religion often exerts on politics and society. He points out antiscientific attitudes embedded in popular religion that are being used to suppress scientific results on issues of global importance, such as overpopulation and environmental degradation. When religion fosters disrespect for science, it threatens the generations of humanity that will follow ours.

For thousands of years, the faithful have honed proselytizing strategies and talked people into believing the truth of one holy book or another. Indeed, the faithful often view converting others as an obligation of their faith—and are trained from an early age to spread their unique brand of religion. The result is a world broken in large part by unquestioned faith. As an urgently needed counter to this tried-and-true tradition of religious evangelism, A Manual for Creating Atheists offers the first-ever guide not for talking people into faith—but for talking them out of it. Peter Boghossian draws on the tools he has developed and used for more than 20 years as a philosopher and educator to teach how to engage the faithful in conversations that will help them value reason and rationality, cast doubt on their religious beliefs, mistrust their faith, abandon superstition and irrationality, and ultimately embrace reason.

한국 스켑틱 SKEPTIC 8호. '지능의 출현은 우연인가'를 커버스토리로 전통적으로 우주의 목적으로 여겨지던 인간 혹은 지능의 출현에 대해 과학적 시각에서 비판적으로 다룬다. 포커스 섹션에서는 최근 세계적으로 위협이 되고 있는 극단주의에 대해서 다룬다. 이광근 서울대학교 컴퓨터공학과 교수는 앨런 튜링에 대한 통념이 무책임하고 검토가 되지 않은 신화라고 비판하고, 튜링이 괴델의 증명을 배운 '튜링의 1935년'을 추적하면서 그가 어떻게 컴퓨터라는 원천 아이디어를 얻을 수 있었는지 이야기한다. 또한 '음모론의 해부' 테마에서는 구체적인 증거들을 통해 로스웰 음모론을 검증하고, 어떻게 음모론이 만들어지는지를 추적한다.

Творчество крупнейшего современного русского писателя Владимира Сорокина (р. 1955) представлено в настоящей книге во всем многообразии его интересов. В статьях, вошедших в сборник, рассматриваются как общие принципы его поэтики, так и отдельные произведения. Анализ текстов, написанных в позднесоветском андеграунде, подхватывают интерпретации его постсоветских бестселлеров, пьес, киносценариев и поставленных по ним фильмов. При этом Сорокин рассматривается не только как писатель, но и как медийная фигура, творящая персональный миф. В книгу вошли наиболее яркие работы, написанные о Сорокине на протяжении всей его творческой карьеры. Их авторы — известные исследователи и критики, следившие за творческой эволюцией Сорокина в течение нескольких десятилетий. Книга включает также прежде не публиковавшиеся статьи, а также избранные интервью писателя.

We live in a genuinely unique period of human history, one in which the alarmist's hackneyed warning that "The end is near!" could actually come true. The world is cluttered with increasingly powerful advanced technologies. Global warming and biodiversity loss are unchecked catastrophes that will likely push society to the brink of collapse. How are we to respond to this situation? What can we do to maximize the probability of a positive outcome for our species? The End surveys the expanding wilderness of big-picture hazards before us. It offers a comprehensive and detailed analysis of our evolving existential predicament, which includes risks from synthetic biology, nanotechnology, nuclear weaponry, and (possibly, soon) superintelligence. But understanding the science of risks isn't enough to effectively mitigate them: one must also understand the social, political, and especially religious contexts in which advanced technologies are being developed. The End provides this knowledge by showing how faith-based belief in religious eschatologies (or end-times narratives) is inching us ever closer to a secular apocalypse. Action needs to be taken immediately to avert a disaster. The question is whether humanity will choose reason over faith, observation over revelation, and science over religion.

"[This] magnificent critical survey, with its inherent respect for both the 'Westt's mainstream high culture' and the 'radically changing world' of the 1990s, offers a new breakthrough for lay and scholarly readers alike....Allows readers to grasp the big picture of Western culture for the first time." SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE Here are the great minds of Western civilization and their pivotal ideas, from Plato to Hegel, from Augustine to Nietzsche, from Copernicus to Freud. Richard Tarnas performs the near-miracle of describing profound philosophical concepts simply but without simplifying them. Ten years in the making and already hailed as a classic, THE PASSION OF THE WESERN MIND is truly a complete liberal education in a single volume.
