Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. ![]() ![]() This book is written in an extremely readable, simple manner, which made me feel patronized rather than informed or convinced. The arguments are considerably streamlined, although the author provides some endnotes for those who wish to read further research. Although the effort in producing an approachable, non-inflammatory work is commendable, the brevity (144 pages) hinders rather than recommends this book. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
In this groundbreaking volume, J. Anderson Thomson, Jr., MD, with Clare Aukofer, offers a succinct yet comprehensive study of how and why the human mind generates religious belief. Dr. Thomson, a highly respected practicing psychiatrist with credentials in forensic psychiatry and evolutionary psychology, methodically investigates the components and causes of religious belief in the same way any scientist would investigate the movement of astronomical bodies or the evolution of life over time--that is, as a purely natural phenomenon. Providing compelling evidence from psychology, the cognitive neurosciences, and related fields, he, with Ms. Aukofer, presents an easily accessible and exceptionally convincing case that god(s) were created by man--not vice versa. With this slim volume, Dr. Thomson establishes himself as a must-read thinker and leading voice on the primacy of reason and science over superstition and religion.
