«The God Delusion» is Richard Dawkins's essay, published by Black Swan in paperback (464 pages, in English).
Starting from the lack of evidence for God's existence, Dawkins reviews images of divinity, from the God of the Old Testament to the celestial watchmaker, and refutes the classic arguments of theism. He argues that religion has fostered wars and intolerance and defends atheism as a way to appreciate the universe with reason and wonder.
Originally published in 2006; the author received the British Book Award for Author of the Year 2007.
Aimed at readers with an interest in philosophy, atheism, and criticism of religion.
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."
