The Portable Atheist
Description
Christopher Hitchens continues to make the case for a splendidly godless universe in this first-ever gathering of the influential voices—past and present—that have shaped his side of the current (and raging) God/no-God debate. With Hitchens as an erudite and witty guide, he leads readers through the wealth of philosophy, literature, and scientific inquiry that have over the centuries shaped modern nonbelief. The words of Lucretius, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, Mark Twain, Karl Marx, Bertrand Russell, H. L. Mencken, Emma Goldman, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, and many others, are all set in context and commented upon as only Christopher Hitchens—“political and literary journalist extraordinaire” (Los Angeles Times)—can. Atheist? Believer? Uncertain? No matter: The Portable Atheist will engage every step of the way.
Christopher Hitchens is a contributing editor to Vanity Fair. His numerous books include God is Not Great, Letters to a Young Contrarian, and Why Orwell Matters.
