A meditation on the importance of atheism in the modern world - and its inadequacies and contradictions - by one of Britain's leading philosophers.
John Gray's major books include Straw Dogs, Black Mass and The Silence of Animals. A second edition of his essays, Gray's Anatomy, was published in 2016. He now principally writes for the New Statesman.
A highly readable, fascinating book that jerks the debate on
religion versus atheism right out of its crusted rut into the light
of serious intellectual scrutiny
*Observer*
Pithy and revelatory
*Financial Times*
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.
*New Statesman*
