The end of faith: religion, terror, and the future of reason.
Published by New York: W. W. Norton, 2005, 2005
Harris, Sam, 1967-. The end of faith: religion, terror, and the future of reason. New York: W. W. Norton, 2005, later printing, 348pp., PAPERBACK, good lightly used copy, covers curled outwards. A startling analysis of the clash of faith and reason in today's world, this historical tour of mankind's willingness to suspend reason in favor of religious beliefs, even when those beliefs are used to justify atrocities, asserts that in the shadow of weapons of mass destruction, we can not expect to survive our religious differences indefinitely. Most controversially, argues that moderate lip service to religion only blinds us to the real perils of fundamentalism. Harris also draws on new evidence from neuroscience and insights from philosophy to explore spirituality as a biological, brain-based need, and invokes that need in taking a secular humanistic approach to solving the problems of this world. - CONTENTS: Reason in exile -- The nature of belief -- In the shadow of God -- The problem with Islam -- West of Eden -- A science of good and evil -- Experiments in consciousness. 9780393327656 ISBN 0393327655.
