Publisher Description

If God does not exist, then what does? Is there good and evil, and should we care? How do we know what's true anyway? And can we make any sense of this universe, or our own lives? Sense and Goodness Without God answers these questions in lavish detail, without complex jargon. Arguing that there is only a physical, natural world without gods or spirits, noted historian and philosopher Richard Carrier presents and defends a complete worldview, one in which we can live a life of love, meaning, and joy. In the process, he covers every relevant subject, from knowledge to art, from metaphysics to morality, from theology to politics. Specific topics include free will, the nature of the universe, the meaning of life, the science of beauty, and much more.

Although written for a lay audience, Sense and Goodness Without God tackles the sophisticated attacks on naturalism by the likes of Plantinga, Moreland, Reppert, and others, and clearly and methodically explains why the naturalistic worldview is more credible than any other.

"A magnum opus on philosophy and why a person doesn't need belief in god to find meaning and morality in life. Simply and elegantly written and a must for anyone questioning their world view."

    " I found the science very good but unfortunately that's about 30%. The rest is philosophy and I just don't find metal masturbation that enjoyable. First and last book of this auhor for me. "

    " I hate to say this, but this was as boring as the textbook it seemed to aspire to. I agreed with much that it took too long to say, but eventually I gave up. "

    " Went to hear Mr. Carrier give a presentation about this book. His views on the naturalist world view is very interesting and thought provoking. But he dismissed my question and comment that his scientific worldview is similar to what Marx and Engles were talking about their philosophical works. "

    " Carrier's book has a lot of good material. It's quite dense, and I admit that I skipped around a bit (as did several others in our book group), but it definitely presents a very complete secular worldview. "
