Agnosticism: A Very Short Introduction
In this Very Short Introduction, Robin Le Poidevin sets the philosophical case for agnosticism and explores it as a historical and cultural phenomenon. He challenges the common wisdom about agnosticism among both believers and atheists, and invites the reader to rethink their own position on the issues. This stimulating and provocative guide takes issue on many points with the assertions of prominent atheists such as Richard Dawkins.
Agnosticism
Agnosticism: With Respect to God brings together leading philosophers, considering the question of agnosticism, an under-explored area in philosophy and religious thought, from both analytic and continental perspectives. The book explores the various meanings of agnosticism in the twenty-first century.
The Origins of Agnosticism
Originally published in 1987. The Origins of Agnosticism provides a reinterpretation of agnosticism and its relationship to science. Professor Lightman examines the epistemological basis of agnostics' learned ignorance, studying their core claim that "God is unknowable." To address this question, he reconstructs the theory of knowledge posited by Thomas Henry Huxley and his network of agnostics. In doing so, Lightman argues that agnosticism was constructed on an epistemological foundation laid by Christian thought. In addition to undermining the continuity in the intellectual history of religious thought, Lightman exposes the religious origins of agnosticism.
Divinity of Doubt
Vincent Bugliosi, whom many view as the nation's foremost prosecutor, has successfully taken on, in court or on the pages of his books, the most notorious murderers of the last half century--Charles Manson, O.J. Simpson, and Lee Harvey Oswald. Now, in the most controversial book of his celebrated career, he turns his incomparable prosecutorial eye on the greatest target of all: God. In making his case for agnosticism, Bugliosi has very arguably written the most powerful indictment ever of God, organized religion, theism, and atheism. Theists will be left reeling by the commanding nature of Bugliosi's extraordinary arguments against them. And, with his trademark incisive logic and devastating...
Beyond Beliefs
Beyond Beliefs: The Philosophy of Agnosticism Beyond Beliefs: The Philosophy of Agnosticism is a bold invitation to explore the limits of human knowledge and the essence of doubt. In this profound philosophical journey, Logan Gray unveils the historical, epistemological, and cultural roots of agnosticism—a stance that challenges both religious dogmatism and absolute skepticism. Through a rich and provocative analysis, the author guides readers through questions that transcend the everyday: What does it mean not to know? How does humanity grapple with the unknowable? With a critical yet respectful approach, the book delves into topics ranging from cosmological arguments and the impact of evolution to the intricate relationships between science, spirituality, and society. More than just a philosophy, Beyond Beliefs is a way of thinking—a manifesto for intellectual humility in a world overflowing with illusory certainties. This is an essential book for curious minds seeking to understand themselves and the universe, not as a set of definitive answers but as a journey toward the unknown.
Atheism and Agnosticism
This Element is an elementary introduction to atheism and agnosticism. It begins with a careful characterisation of atheism and agnosticism, distinguishing them from many other things with which they are often conflated. After a brief discussion of the theoretical framework within which atheism and agnosticism are properly evaluated, it then turns to the sketching of cases for atheism and agnosticism. In both cases, the aim is not conviction, but rather advancement of understanding: the point of the cases is to make it intelligible why some take themselves to have compelling reason to adopt atheism or agnosticism.
An Agnostic Defends God
This book contains a unique perspective: that of a scientifically and philosophically educated agnostic who thinks there is impressive—if maddeningly hidden—evidence for the existence of God. Science and philosophy may have revealed the poverty of the familiar sources of evidence, but they generate their own partial defense of theism. Bryan Frances, a philosopher with a graduate degree in physics, judges the standard evidence for God’s existence to be awful. And yet, like many others with similar scientific and philosophical backgrounds, he argues that the usual reasons for atheism, such as the existence of suffering and success of science, are weak. In this book you will learn why so many people with scientific and philosophical credentials are agnostics (rather than atheists) despite judging all the usual evidence for theism to be fatally flawed.
