    In this Element, Michael Ruse offers a critical analysis of contemporary atheism. He puts special emphasis on the work of so-called 'New Atheists': Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchins, whose views are contrasted with those of Edward O. Wilson. Ruse also provides a full exposition of his own position, which he labels 'Darwinian Existentialism'.

    Reviews & endorsements

    'Ruse's newest book on atheism is one of the best introductory texts to the subject in print … an excellent primer for students who are studying some of the basic reasons for faith and unbelief.' Glenn B. Siniscalchi, Religious Studies Review
