520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
Summary, etc. | While its tone is playful and frivolous, this book poses tough questions over the nature of religion and belief.<br/><br/>Religion provides comfortable responses to the questions that have always beset humankind - why are we here, what is the point of being alive, how ought we to behave? Russell snatches that comfort away, leaving us instead with other, more troublesome alternatives: responsibility, autonomy, self-awareness. He tells us that the time to live is now, the place to live is here, and the way to be happy is to ensure others are happy.<br/>(https://www.routledge.com/Why-I-am-not-a-Christian-and-Other-Essays-on-Religion-and-Related-Subjects/Russell/p/book/9780415325103) |
