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.
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.
道金斯(Richard Dawkins)的原著(The God Delusion)写得十分精彩。在书店见到陈蓉霞这个译本,起初还为不懂英文的人庆幸,及至对照原文一读,才发现翻译得太差了!可说是错漏百出,惨不忍睹! 其实很多错误,只要认真查一查词典即可避免,可惜译者没有这么做,而是想当然地...
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……
评分校订手记 顶漏容易盖瓦难 身为校订者而非译者,说来本无资格或理由对一本译著赘言的。但本书作为原译本出版大约七年后的修订版,确实存在一些特殊情况,有必要作一下说明让读者知晓,此外也想简要说说本书中文版的现实意义、校订工作的一点体会,并顺致感谢。 本书的译者陈蓉霞...

亚伯拉罕教:大毒草,供批判!
评分醍醐灌顶啊!
评分对Dawkins始终感情复杂:一方面确实从阅读他著作中受益良多,另一方面其对物质精神二元论的理解近乎弱智,且Meme作为一套完整的科学范式理论的构建太过牵强。道爷对于宗教的态度简直就是英国版方舟子土摩托,字里行间都是理性主义者的自负与傲慢。
评分同意他的观点但写得有点太激动了吧。。。
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.
