More about the book
Exploring deep atheism through the lens of literary theory, philosophy, and religion, the essays delve into the concept of "nothing" as examined by notable figures like George Eliot and Thomas Hardy. They question how existence and values hold meaning against an indifferent universe. The work contrasts theism and atheism, particularly through Paul Ricoeur and Daniel Dennett, while advocating for a nuanced understanding of freedom as inherently interpersonal. The interplay between "nothing" and "freedom" is also linked to biblical narratives, highlighting the complex relationship between belief and autonomy.
