Philosophy of religion; Agnosticism & atheism

Series: Elements in Religion and Monotheism

In this Element, Michael Ruse offers a critical analysis of contemporary atheism. He puts special emphasis on the work of so-called 'New Atheists': Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchins, whose views are contrasted with those of Edward O. Wilson. Ruse also provides a full exposition of his own position, which he labels 'Darwinian Existentialism'.

Reviews for Monotheism and Contemporary Atheism

'Ruse's newest book on atheism is one of the best introductory texts to the subject in print … an excellent primer for students who are studying some of the basic reasons for faith and unbelief.' Glenn B. Siniscalchi, Religious Studies Review
