The Four Horsemen The Discussion That Sparked an Atheist Revolution

<b>_________________</b><br> <br> <b>Includes a foreword by STEPHEN FRY</b><br> <br> <b><i>'A classic for our time...And all time.'</i> - Michael Shermer<br> <br> <i>'The words of Hitchens, Dawkins, Harris and Dennett are needed more than ever. These are the heirs to Voltaire.'</i> - Matt Ridley</b><br> <br> Known as the 'four horsemen' of New Atheism, these four big thinkers of the twenty-first century met only once. Their electrifying examination of ideas on this remarkable occasion was intense and wide-ranging. Everything that was said as they agreed and disagreed with one another, interrogated ideas and exchanged insights - about religion and atheism, science and sense - speaks with urgency to our present age.<br> <br> Questions they asked of each other included- 'Is it ever possible to win a war of ideas? Is spirituality the preserve of the religious? Are there any truths you would rather not know? Would you want to see the end of faith?'<br> The dialogue was recorded, and is now transcribed and presented here with new introductions from the surviving three horsemen.<br> <br> With a sparkling introduction from Stephen Fry, it makes essential reading for all their admirers and for anyone interested in exploring the tensions between faith and reason.
