Publisher's Summary:

"Everyone has their own inner philosopher - a voice within that asks, oh so insistently, philosophical questions. Everyone wants to know what the ultimate nature of the world is, what the self is, whether we have free will, how our minds relate to our bodies, whether we can really know anything, where ethical truth comes from, what the meaning of life is, and whether or not there is a God.

"This inner philosopher is related to the inner child, since the child too is prone to asking philosophical questions. But it is much better to have a disciplined guide through philosophy than simply to try to do all the thinking by yourself.

"I will be acting as your guide. I will cover all the main problems of philosophy, from logic to ethics, from the human mind to God, introducing you to how philosophers think and the theories they have come up with. The first four lectures focus on foundational questions that need to be clarified before we engage upon more applied discussions. We need to know what knowledge is, what truth is, and what logical reasoning is before we start discussing ethics, the mind, free will and God. So let's start with the basics, then break into a run only when we have learned how to walk."

Title: Irreligion

Subtitle: A Mathematician Explains Why the Arguments for God Just Don't Add Up

Author: John Allen Paulos

Narrator: Dick Hill

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 13 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-28-08

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 120 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

Are there any logical reasons to believe in God? Mathematician and best-selling author John Allen Paulos thinks not. In Irreligion he presents the case for his own worldview, organizing his book into 12 chapters that refute the 12 arguments most often put forward for believing in God's existence. The latter arguments, Paulos relates in his characteristically lighthearted style, "range from what might be called golden oldies to those with a more contemporary beat. On the playlist are the first-cause argument, the argument from design, the ontological argument, arguments from faith and biblical codes, the argument from the anthropic principle, the moral universality argument, and others." Interspersed among his 12 counterarguments are remarks on a variety of irreligious themes, ranging from the nature of miracles and creationist probability to cognitive illusions and prudential wagers. Special attention is paid to topics, arguments, and questions that spring from his incredulity "not only about religion but also about others' credulity".

Critic Reviews:

"Paulos is truly funny....This little book...provides both atheists and religious apologists some digestible food for thought." (

Publishers Weekly)

Résumé de l'éditeur:

De Gassendi à Spinoza

7 cours de philosophie sur les libertins baroques

"Une histoire parallèle de la pensée, qui réhabilite la tradition hédoniste et matérialiste ressuscitant gnostiques, libertins, baroques, Ultras des Lumières, socialistes dionysiaques, libres esprits et autres illuminés."

Robert Maggiori, Libération

Une historiographie alternative

L'écriture de l'histoire de la philosophie occidentale n'est pas neutre : une Grèce prétendument fondatrice à l'exclusion des pensées qui la précèdent dans le temps ; une domination idéaliste, notamment platonicienne ; une tradition qui poursuit ce parti-pris avec le spiritualisme chrétien et l'idéal allemand - l'historiographie dominante est nettement platonicienne. Or, on peut proposer une contre-histoire de la philosophie qui se soucie d'un autre lignage : matérialiste, hédoniste, nominaliste, athée, sensualiste, empirique, etc. Et s'y inscrire avec le souci d'une pensée systématique.

, philosophe et écrivain français, né à Argentan le premier janvier 1959, commença par enseigner la philosophie à une classe de terminale du lycée technique de Caen. En 2002, il démissionna de l'Education Nationale afin de créer l'Université Populaire de Caen. Il y enseigne depuis la "contre-histoire de la philosophie" ici présentée. Michel Onfray souhaite formuler une théorie de l'hédonisme au travers de ses ouvrages, et se propose de réconcilier l'homme et son corps. Pour lui, la philosophie est un art de vivre qui permet à l'homme de se débarrasser de ses illusions.

Publisher's Summary:

Hegel viewed history as the growth of human consciousness, which is also the emergence of freedom. He thought that progress takes the form of the "dialectic", a historical process that moves us, through struggle and contradiction, to a higher stage of development. These ideas had a great impact on virtually all subsequent philosophy, particularly that of Marx, Kierkegaard, Sartre, and Dewey.

The Giants of Philosophy is a series of dramatic presentations, in understandable language, of the concerns, questions, interests, and overall world view of history's greatest philosophers. Special emphasis on clear and relevant explanations gives you a new arsenal of insights toward living a better life.
