  • Winner of PEN/Martha Albrand Award 2005

Overview

In The End of Faith, Sam Harris delivers a startling analysis of the clash between reason and religion in the modern world. He offers a vivid, historical tour of our willingness to suspend reason in favor of religious beliefs—even when these beliefs inspire the worst human atrocities. While warning against the encroachment of organized religion into world politics, Harris draws on insights from neuroscience, philosophy, and Eastern mysticism to deliver a call for a truly modern foundation for ethics and spirituality that is both secular and humanistic. Winner of the 2005 PEN/Martha Albrand Award for Nonfiction.

Reviews

While one might dispute some of the claims and arguments presented by Harris, the need for a wakeup call to religious liberals is right on the mark.


[Harris's] brief accounts of intuition, and of the notion of a 'moral community, ' are as good as anything I have read on these topics. --John Derbyshire
