Summary:
From one of Britain's most distinguished historians comes the stirring story of one of the modern world's most important yet controversial intellectual achievements: atheism.
Since
Friedrich Nietzsche roundly declared that "
God
is dead" in 1882, a raft of reflective and courageous individuals have devoted their creative energies to devising ways to
live
without Him, turning instead to invention, enthusiasm, hope, wit and, above all, various forms of self-reliance. Their brave, imaginative story has gone untold--until now. In The
Age
of
Atheists
, acclaimed historian Peter Watson offers a sweeping narrative of the secular philosophers and poets, psychologists and scientists, painters and playwrights, novelists and even choreographers who have forged a thrilling, bold path in the absence of religious belief. -- Provided by publisher.
