Description:Dawkins' militant atheism is well-known; his profound faith less well-known. In this book, atheist philosopher Eric Steinhart explores the spiritual dimensions of Richard Dawkins' books, which are shown to encompass:- the meaning and purpose of life- an appreciation of Platonic beauty and truth- a deep belief in the rationality of the universe- an aversion to both scientism and nihilismAs an atheist, Dawkins strives to develop a scientific alternative to theism, and while he declares that science is not a religion, he also proclaims it to be a spiritual enterprise. His books are filled with fragmentary sketches of this 'spiritual atheism', resembling a great unfinished cathedral. This book systematises and completes Dawkins' arguments and reveals their deep roots in Stoicism and Platonism.Expanding on Dawkins' ideas, Steinhart shows how atheists can develop powerful ethical principles, emotionally and artistically rich systems of symbols and images, and spiritually meaningful personal and social practices. Believing in Dawkins is a rigorous and potent entreaty for the use of science and reason to support spiritually rich and optimistic ways of thinking and living.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
