A preeminent scientist -- and the world's most prominent atheist -- asserts the irrationality of belief in God and the grievous harm religion has inflicted on society, from the Crusades to 9/11. With rigor and wit, Dawkins examines God in all his forms, from the sex-obsessed tyrant of the Old Testament to the more benign (but still illogical) Celestial Watchmaker favored by some Enlightenment thinkers. He eviscerates the major arguments for religion and demonstrates the supreme improbability of a supreme being. He shows how religion fuels war, foments bigotry, and abuses children, buttressing his points with historical and contemporary evidence. The God Delusion makes a compelling case that belief in God is not just wrong but potentially deadly. It also offers exhilarating insight into the advantages of atheism to the individual and society, not the least of which is a clearer, truer appreciation of the universe's wonders than any faith could ever muster.
Richard Dawkins taught zoology at the University of California at Berkeley and at Oxford University and is now the Charles Simonyi Professor of the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford, a position he has held since 1995. Among his previous books are The Ancestor's Tale, The Selfish Gene, The Blind Watchmaker, Climbing Mount Improbable, Unweaving the Rainbow, and A Devil's Chaplain. Dawkins lives in Oxford with his wife, the actress and artist Lalla Ward.
这本书的优点很让我叹服,但我觉得这本书的缺点也很明显。我一向觉得,任何事物有优点也有缺点,而在理解其优点之前不应该轻易批评其缺点(其实对人何尝不也是这样)。 那我就先来回顾一下它的优点。 <进化论> 这是我第一次读进化论的书。以前我接受课本里的进化论知识(虽...
评分原作五星,译作二星。译后记中译者想憋了半天终于决定挥手掴道金斯一掌,结果拍自己脸上了,而且特别响。惜乎…科学文化人吧? 接着打算看《the greatest show on earth - the evidence for evolution》了,好在没有中译……

useful to you if you have a scientific mind. useless to you if you really buy the talking snake and walking on water shit.
评分:无
评分没啥哲学素养的科学家简直是灾难………道金斯是个很典型的例子(此条引战,长期有效)诉诸“仇宗情绪”哪里像科学家?完全是个anti-religion cult的教主
评分useful to you if you have a scientific mind. useless to you if you really buy the talking snake and walking on water shit.
评分道德原来是进化的产物呀。这么说来,道德确实是没有确定的标准的。难怪《正义》那帮人在那边争得头破血流也没有结果。 另外,我觉的作者把科学观同科学研究手段等同起来了,这个不好。
