Richard Dawkins taught zoology at the University of California at Berkeley and at Oxford University and is now the Charles Simonyi Professor of the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford, a position he has held since 1995. Among his previous books are The Ancestor's Tale, The Selfish Gene, The Blind Watchmaker, Climbing Mount Improbable, Unweaving the Rainbow, and A Devil's Chaplain. Dawkins lives in Oxford with his wife, the actress and artist Lalla Ward.
A preeminent scientist -- and the world's most prominent atheist -- asserts the irrationality of belief in God and the grievous harm religion has inflicted on society, from the Crusades to 9/11. With rigor and wit, Dawkins examines God in all his forms, from the sex-obsessed tyrant of the Old Testament to the more benign (but still illogical) Celestial Watchmaker favored by some Enlightenment thinkers. He eviscerates the major arguments for religion and demonstrates the supreme improbability of a supreme being. He shows how religion fuels war, foments bigotry, and abuses children, buttressing his points with historical and contemporary evidence. The God Delusion makes a compelling case that belief in God is not just wrong but potentially deadly. It also offers exhilarating insight into the advantages of atheism to the individual and society, not the least of which is a clearer, truer appreciation of the universe's wonders than any faith could ever muster.
如果宗教问题,特别是亚伯拉罕诸教尚以其神秘的面纱让你感到难以接近,而你又多少对此感到好奇或者不安的话,那你不妨听听DAWKINS对该问题勇敢而系统的分析。有神或无神不是小问题,他们的区别意味着完完全全不同的宇宙。DAWKINS的文笔犀利而风趣,就像拥有能够点燃你自主跟进...
评分1、主题是把进化论的研究思路扩展到宗教领域。道金斯称之为文化基因,这也适用于任何人类文化领域。宗教不是一个抽象的概念,不是本体论的东西。它跟动物园的猴子没什么区别,猴子是怎么从复制细胞到鱼类到爬行动物到猴子一步步进化来的,宗教就是怎么一步步进化来的。宗教发展...
评分原作五星,译作二星。译后记中译者想憋了半天终于决定挥手掴道金斯一掌,结果拍自己脸上了,而且特别响。惜乎…科学文化人吧? 接着打算看《the greatest show on earth - the evidence for evolution》了,好在没有中译……
评分理查德道金斯对新十诫的补充: 1欣赏自己的性生活(只要不损害他人)同时让他人欣赏自己私下的爱好 2不要歧视或压迫不同的性别、种族及其它物种 3不要向你的孩子灌输。教他们如何自己思考,如何评价证据,如何与你争论 4高瞻远瞩,不要受当下时代的束缚 未知斋译新十诫 ...

看的很爽,Dawkins的论点很全面,整个书逻辑很严谨,基本上是面面俱到,虽然说能学到的东西倒是不多,更多的是重温了双方的观点。本来认为他有点过于偏激了,但现在读了他的书后,觉得也不是没有道理。不过态度居高临下,有点刻薄倒是真的,这点我也要注意。但即使如此,看《南方公园》拿他开涮也还是很逗。

评分useful to you if you have a scientific mind. useless to you if you really buy the talking snake and walking on water shit.
评分道德原来是进化的产物呀。这么说来,道德确实是没有确定的标准的。难怪《正义》那帮人在那边争得头破血流也没有结果。 另外,我觉的作者把科学观同科学研究手段等同起来了,这个不好。
