Description

An innovative thinker tackles the controversial question of why we believe in God and how religion shapes our lives and our future. In this daring new book, distinguished philosopher Daniel C. Dennett takes a hard look at this phenomenon and asks why. Where does our devotion to God come from and what purpose does it serve? Is religion a blind evolutionary compulsion or a rational choice? Dennett argues that the time has come to shed the light of science on the fundamental questions of faith. He explores how organized religion evolved from folk beliefs and why it is such a potent force today. "Breaking the Spell" is an eye-opening exploration of the role that belief plays in our lives, our interactions, and our country.
