De: André Cancian

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

God, religion, morality, the origin and meaning of life, free will: in Atheism & Freedom fundamental issues are brought to the light of reason, in an attempt to clarify some of the lies and truths that surround us. Controversial, frank, revealing, and bold, Atheism & Freedom is an invitation to reflection, to free-thinking, and to the search for a rational and coherent explanation of man and the world.

"It is a work to be used as a reference. Excellent bibliography and despite the size the reading is pleasant and accessible."
— Mobiller

"Accessible language and well-written text for understanding a much needed subject. A sober and lucid perspective on our nature."
— Vinicius

"I thought this book would be mainly about atheism, but it goes much further. Atheism occupies approximately 40% of the book, yet it is not treated in a less profound way. The rest of the book deals with analyzing the validity of concepts we take for granted in our lives and the very validity of the knowledge we can attain. It goes through the biological and sociological values that motivate us, destroying illusory superficial notions and revealing their real functioning."
