leading scholars present original essays on various aspects of
atheism: its history, both ancient and modern, defense, and implications.
The topic is examined in terms of its implications for a wide range
of disciplines, including philosophy, religion, feminism, postmodernism,
sociology, and psychology. In its defense, both classical
and contemporary theistic arguments are criticized, and the
argument from evil and impossibility arguments, along with a nonreligious
basis for morality, are defended. These essays give a broad
understanding of atheism and a lucid introduction to this controversial
topic.
