Dedicated as few men have been to the life of reason, Bertrand Russell has always been concerned with the basic questions to which religion also addresses itself -- questions about man's place in the universe and the nature of the good life, questions that involve life after death, morality, freedom, education, and sexual ethics. He brings to his treatment of these questions the same courage, scrupulous logic, and lofty wisdom for which his other work as philosopher, writer, and teacher has been famous. These qualities make the essays included in this book perhaps the most graceful and moving presentation of the freethinker's position since the days of Hume and Voltaire. "I am as firmly convinced that religions do harm as I am that they are untrue," Russell declares in his Preface, and his reasoned opposition to any system or dogma which he feels may shackle man's mind runs through all the essays in this book, whether they were written as early as 1899 or as late as 1954. The book has been edited, with Lord Russell's full approval and cooperation, by Professor Paul Edwards of the Philosophy Department of New York University. In an Appendix, Professor Edwards contributes a full account of the highly controversial "Bertrand Russell Case" of 1940, in which Russell was judicially declared "unfit" to teach philosophy at the College of the City of New York. Whether the reader shares or rejects Bertrand Russell's views, he will find this book an invigorating challenge to set notions, a masterly statement of a philosophical position, and a pure joy to read.
勃特蘭·羅素
勃特蘭·羅素的小冊子為什麼我不是基督徒是對不可知論信條的經典闡述。 這本同名小書是基於他1927年發錶的演說。文章首先簡單闡述羅素反對有神論論據,然後詳細論述其對基督教教義之道德反對。最後他更呼籲他的讀者要用“無懼的態度和開放的智慧”“獨立自主、公平正直地看世界”。 在羅素後來的小冊子我是一個無神論者或者不可知論嗎?(副標題: 對麵對新教條所持容忍態度的辯論)中, 他確認,他在哲學意義上是一個不可知論者,不知道神是否真的存在。然而在同一部作品中,他也接納,無神論者這一稱呼能更加好的錶達非哲學追隨者的宗教姿態。

評分罗素的论文集《为什么我不是基督教徒》在82年就已由商务印书馆在国内出版,时隔30年,商务印书馆将这册论文集列入汉译世界学术名著丛书再版。遗憾的是本书仅是罗素关于神学问题的一些讨论的论文的合辑,而不是一部系统阐述其神学思想的专著,因此从中所窥得的,也许和一个真正...

評分没有看过 不过觉得不是教徒不用为什么 每个人都有自己的信仰 可以不是宗教 但必然是有的 信仰不必上綱上线 那只是个人精神生活的背景与保护伞 试问耶稣若向你显现神迹了 你就突然信他了吗 不过耶稣也不会向你显现神迹 不会救你于水火泥潭 因为他 是个外“人” 他从未住进过你的...
評分这本书是罗素对于基督教的书写的集合,书名来自于第一篇文章,是罗素做过的一个演讲。这一个演讲确实使人读了之后有种酣畅淋漓之感,仿佛宗教徒宣称的各种信心和见证,神秘主义的把戏,对“神圣权威”的玩弄和利用,迂腐愚昧的教条,在罗素鲜明有力的思想和语言的光照之下,完...
That star is for the powerful language (which I really really like :)
