Dawkin's militant atheism is well known; his profound faith less well knownIn this book, atheist philosopher Eric Steinhart explores the spiritual dimensions of Richard Dawkins' books, which are shown to encompass:the meaning and purpose of lifean appreciation of Platonic beauty and trutha deep belief in the rationality of the universean aversion to both scientism and nihilismAs an atheist, Dawkins strives to develop a scientific alternative to theism, and while he declares that science is not a religion, he also proclaims it to be a spiritual enterprise. His books are filled with fragmentary sketches of this 'spiritual atheism', resembling a great unfinished cathedral. This book systematises and completes Dawkins' arguments and reveals their deep roots in Stoicism and Platonism.Expanding
