Description

The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason by Sam Harris This thought-provoking book offers a stark analysis of the clash between faith and reason in today's world. Harris explores the historical roots of humanity's willingness to suspend reason in favour of religious beliefs, and how this has led to the justification of harm and violence. He argues that in the face of global threats, we can no longer tolerate views that pit one true god against another. Harris also examines the role of organised religion in politics and the dangers of moderate accommodation. Drawing on new evidence from neuroscience and philosophy, he explores the concept of spirituality as a biological need, and calls for a secular humanistic approach to addressing the world's problems.
