Description
The Necessity of Atheism (annotated) by Percy Bysshe Shelley is an essay that examines the validity of the proofs supporting any proposition. The author believes that a close examination of these proofs is necessary to attain truth, and so proceeds to investigate them impartially. Shelley's approach begins with a consideration of the nature of belief, and he sets out his goals in clear terms. He invites readers who may have found deficiencies in his reasoning or possess alternative proofs to share them with the public. This openness reflects Shelley's empiricist nature and encourages critical engagement with his ideas. In this annotated edition, Shelley presents his arguments on atheism, including the notion that one's beliefs are involuntary. The pamphlet concludes with a statement of his position: "the mind cannot believe in the existence of a God."
