«Der Gotteswahn» is Richard Dawkins's essay on religious criticism, published by Ullstein Taschenbuch in paperback (560 pages, in German).
Dawkins, an evolutionary biologist, argues that belief in God does not withstand rational scrutiny and presents religion as irrational and contrary to progress. He reviews the 'God hypothesis', the classic arguments for God's existence, the origin of morality and religions, and defends a worldview based on science and reason.
Translation from the English by Sebastian Vogel of the original «The God Delusion» (2006). The cover features the badge «Buch des Jahres 2007».
For readers interested in atheism, criticism of religion, and the debate between science and faith.
Richard Dawkins is a British evolutionary biologist, zoologist, science communicator and author. He is an emeritus fellow of New College, Oxford. In 1995, he was named the first Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science, a position he held until 2008, and is on the advisory board of the University of Austin. Dawkins has won several academic and writing awards, among them the 2005 Shakespeare Prize and the 2006 Lewis Thomas Prize. Presenting the latter, Paul Nurse said "In eloquent, evocative prose, Richard Dawkins conveys the certainty that, rather than diminishing the myriad beauties of the universe and extinguishing wonderment at its mysteries, science reveals truths that are yet more awe-inspiring than the mysteries they solve."
