Book Description
Arguing for Atheism introduces a wide range of topics in the philosophy of religion and metaphysics. Robin Le Poidevin does not simply defend a denial of God's existence; he presents instead a way of intepreting religious discourse which allows us to make sense of the role of religion in our spiritual and moral lives. Ideal as a textbook for university courses in the philosophy of religion and metaphysics, Arguing for Atheism is also designed to be accessible, in its style and its numerous explanations, to the general reader.
Review
"... clear, honest and fairminded; it makes a good introduction, not just to the question of God, but to metaphysics in general" -- Donald Cupitt, Emmanuel College, Cambridge
'A lucid and valuable discussion of the issues it raises about purpose, God, ethics, evil and immortality.' -- The Scientific and Medical Network
"Le Poidevin writes in a clear and engaging manner without sacrifice of conceptual precision or argumentative depth." -- Quentin Smith, Western Michigan University
"Le Poidevin's Arguing for Atheism is the best recent introduction to the philosophy of religion ...I would highly recommend it this book to students and professors alike" -- Quentin Smith, Western Michigan University
"Well exhibits the fascination and philosophical centrality of the philosophy of religion as anchoring otherwise abstract metaphysical issues in the pressing concerns of human existence ... a worthwhile contribution." -- Mind
