Why I Am Not a Christian and Other Essays on Religion and Related Subjects

勃特兰·罗素勃特兰·罗素的小册子为什么我不是基督徒是对不可知论信条的经典阐述。 这本同名小书是基于他1927年发表的演说。文章首先简单阐述罗素反对有神论论据，然后详细论述其对基督教教义之道德反对。最后他更呼吁他的读者要用“无惧的态度和开放的智慧”“独立自主、公平正直地看世界”。 在罗素后来的小册子我是一个无神论者或者不可知论吗？(副标题: 对面对新教条所持容忍态度的辩论)中, 他确认，他在哲学意义上是一个不可知论者，不知道神是否真的存在。然而在同一部作品中，他也接纳，无神论者这一称呼能更加好的表达非哲学追随者的宗教姿态。

Dedicated as few men have been to the life of reason, Bertrand Russell has always been concerned with the basic questions to which religion also addresses itself -- questions about man's place in the universe and the nature of the good life, questions that involve life after death, morality, freedom, education, and sexual ethics. He brings to his treatment of these questions the same courage, scrupulous logic, and lofty wisdom for which his other work as philosopher, writer, and teacher has been famous. These qualities make the essays included in this book perhaps the most graceful and moving presentation of the freethinker's position since the days of Hume and Voltaire. "I am as firmly convinced that religions do harm as I am that they are untrue," Russell declares in his Preface, and his reasoned opposition to any system or dogma which he feels may shackle man's mind runs through all the essays in this book, whether they were written as early as 1899 or as late as 1954. The book has been edited, with Lord Russell's full approval and cooperation, by Professor Paul Edwards of the Philosophy Department of New York University. In an Appendix, Professor Edwards contributes a full account of the highly controversial "Bertrand Russell Case" of 1940, in which Russell was judicially declared "unfit" to teach philosophy at the College of the City of New York. Whether the reader shares or rejects Bertrand Russell's views, he will find this book an invigorating challenge to set notions, a masterly statement of a philosophical position, and a pure joy to read.

读后感

罗素1957年写得这本书，理智有余，关怀不足吧。宗教的存在恐怕不是现有科学工具可以全面分析的。 不过西方哲学、科学推翻一切，重头质疑的精神是我们所没有的。 护短、保守的维护一切“传统”趋向的反面，恰恰是文明的自卑和桎梏。 一本好的思想工具书，一家之言，可以不接受它...  

If u r a christian,u'd better not read Why I Am Not A Christian by Bertrand Russell,in his delicately logical way,it would tear all your religion belief up.But if u need excuse against God,this essay would be helpful...

吃货总会面临这样两难：鲜美的河豚肉和致命的毒素，在《入殓师》里有句台词“好吃得让人为难”，这就是我阅读这本书最大的感受。 这样一本书既有闪耀着理性光辉的雄辩又有自以为是的浅薄，既有痛快淋漓的宗教批判，又有佶屈聱牙的闪烁言辞，这样一本书好看得让人为难...  

用户评价

我觉得这种东西还是读原版比较好。正巧有原版就看起。反复批判自我是成长的方式之一。

太怕死了，于是希望有个老大哥随时stand by your side。

科学而理性的看待生命的无意义难道不是一种回避么？

i just read"Why I Am Not A Christian".i like the point"Fear, the Foundation of Religion".
