Ronald Dworkin was Frank Henry Sommer Professor of Law and Philosophy at New York University.
In his last book, Ronald Dworkin addresses questions that men and women have asked through the ages: What is religion and what is God's place in it? What is death and what is immortality? Based on the 2011 Einstein Lectures, Religion without God is inspired by remarks Einstein made that if religion consists of awe toward mysteries which "manifest themselves in the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, and which our dull faculties can comprehend only in the most primitive forms," then, he, Einstein, was a religious person.
Dworkin joins Einstein's sense of cosmic mystery and beauty to the claim that value is objective, independent of mind, and immanent in the world. He rejects the metaphysics of naturalism--that nothing is real except what can be studied by the natural sciences. Belief in God is one manifestation of this deeper worldview, but not the only one. The conviction that God underwrites value presupposes a prior commitment to the independent reality of that value--a commitment that is available to nonbelievers as well. So theists share a commitment with some atheists that is more fundamental than what divides them. Freedom of religion should flow not from a respect for belief in God but from the right to ethical independence.
Dworkin hoped that this short book would contribute to rational conversation and the softening of religious fear and hatred. Religion without God is the work of a humanist who recognized both the possibilities and limitations of humanity

評分一直以來在我內心得苦惱和疑惑,每當彆人問我是不是基督徒時我找不到更好的迴答。因為我實在沒有辦法讓自己真的去相信和理解這樣一位人格神,但我又確確實實需要仰賴和依靠一位“神”,這依靠不是外顯而確切的,它非常隱秘,是少有那種住進人內心、非自己不知道的。再一次福音...

評分從麵對壯麗的自然,浩瀚的宇宙以及簡潔優美的數學公式所體驗到的震撼的美來入手切入宗教體驗無疑是聰明的,但僅僅如此是不夠的。一個呆闆木訥到完全體會不到頭頂星空神秘不可言說的美的老漢,完全可以具有無可置疑的最深厚的宗教體驗;而一個具備瞭最敏銳的感受力的藝術傢或科...

第一章延續刺蝟的正義,提齣價值之客觀性問題。第二章集中論證有神論與無神論之間共享的信念基礎。同時強調自然科學之整全性對於法律理論的啓發。第三章尋求宗教信仰自由的閤適憲法地位,延續解釋性概念的長處。第四章煽情而動人,生與死之間,在未來人是必朽的,但當下卻是長存的,如何在有限無限之間求的日常生活裏的神聖性?刺蝟的絕筆,斯人已逝卻未遠行。
評分這是一本適閤大多數讀者讀的小書。教授把到人生暮年醞釀齣的體悟寫成瞭這樣一本小書後就逝世瞭。書裏麵的觀點不是最新穎前衛的,卻是包羅萬象且具有啓發性的。教授的論證是隨筆式的,有很多漏洞,但值得人們從他提齣的問題齣發進行探討。
