Bracingly intellectual, this book by a philosophy professor makes the argument that all higher meaning and purpose can—and should—be derived from scientific rather than religious principles. And that the world and life this creates is a wonderful one. He tackles all the big questions: The meaning of life, the nature of reality, the difference between right and wrong, and what it means to be human. If you're looking to push yourself on these questions or for arguments to make in favor of atheism, this imaginative and rigorous book will provide you with much fuel for thought.(This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
