About This Item
US: W. W. Norton & Company, 2011. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. A book for nonbelievers who embrace the reality-driven life. We can't avoid the persistent questions about the meaning of life-and the nature of reali ty. Philosopher Alex Rosenberg maintains that science is the only thing tha t can really answer them--all of them. His bracing and ultimately upbeat bo ok takes physics seriously as the complete description of reality and accep ts all its consequences. He shows how physics makes Darwinian natural selec tion the only way life can emerge, and how that deprives nature of purpose, and human action of meaning, while it exposes conscious illusions such as free will and the self. The science that makes us nonbelievers provides the insight into the real difference between right and wrong, the nature of th e mind, even the direction of human history. The Atheist's Guide to Reality draws powerful implications for the ethical and political issues that roil contemporary life. The result is nice nihilism, a surprisingly sanguine pe rspective atheists can happily embrace.
