Christopher Hitchens
Christopher Hitchens (1949-2011) was een van de meest controversiële, gezichtsbepalende en spraakmakende intellectuelen van Amerika. Hij streed in zijn werk voor de vrijheid van meningsuiting en tegen de hypocrisie. Hij was veelgevraagd radio- en televisiecommentator, schrijvend redacteur van Vanity Fair en gastdocent aan de New School in New York. Zowel zijn boek God is niet groot als Hitch 22 stond direct na verschijnen op de bestsellerslijst van The New York Times. Op bol.com vind je alle boeken van Christopher Hitchens.
Samenvatting
In 2007, Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Daniel Dennett filmed a landmark discussion about modern atheism. The video went viral. Now in print for the first time, the transcript of their conversation is illuminated by new essays from three of the original participants and an introduction by Stephen Fry.
At the dawn of the new atheist movement, the thinkers who became known as the four horsemen, the heralds of religion's unravelingChristopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Daniel Dennettsat down together over cocktails. What followed was a rigorous, pathbreaking, and enthralling exchange, which has been viewed millions of times since it was first posted on YouTube. This is intellectual inquiry at its best: exhilarating, funny, and unpredictable, sincere and probing, reminding us just how varied and colorful the threads of modern atheism are.
Here is the transcript of that conversation, in print for the first time, augmented by material from the living participants: Dawkins, Harris, and Dennett. These new essays, introduced by Stephen Fry, mark the evolution of their thinking and highlight particularly resonant aspects of this epic exchange. Each man contends with the most fundamental questions of human existence while challenging the others to articulate their own stance on God and religion, cultural criticism, spirituality, debate with people of faith, and the components of a truly ethical life.
Praise for The Four Horsemen
This bracing exchange of ideas crackles with energy. Its fascinating to watch four first-class minds explore a rugged intellectual terrain. . . . The text affords a different, more reflective way of processing the truly vital exchange of ideas. . . . I commend the book to those seeking an honest reckoning with their religionand those curious about how the world looks from a rigorously naturalistic and atheistic point of view.Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
The full, electrifying transcript of the one and only conversation between the quartet of luminaries dubbed the four horsemen of the New Atheism, which took place in Washington, D.C., in 2007. Among the vast range of ideas and questions they discuss: Is it ever possible to win a war of ideas? Is spirituality the preserve of the religious? And, are there any truths you would rather not know?The Bookseller (UK) (starred review)
