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.

评分恩~,我虽然没有通读此书,但读过有关片段章节的中文翻译(由柯南翻译的)。我对于作者在无神论上、以及在对待宗教的态度上都非常认同。这也是我喜欢看《Dr.House》的原因,据说那个角色在对待无神论以及宗教的态度上,就参考了理查德·道金斯的理念和观点。
评分(新版《上帝的错觉》已出,本书评指出的旧版中的问题已得到修正,请大家去读新版!) -------------------- 以下内容针对旧版《上帝的迷思》,发布时间 2011-08-10 01:50:21 -------------------- 很值得看的书。 译者在后记里提到了该书对国人的意义(这个《译后记》总体上写...
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……
他不是温和派。
评分看的很爽,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。
评分Richard Dawkins is a brave man whose desire is to share with the world his passionate love for rationality---the most noble and divine trait of humanity. if we can all read, understand and contemplate the information and insight he provided in this book, then humankind can receive the real salvation of its mind.
评分two-thumbs-up
