Synopsis
Philosopher Daniel Dennett examines a widespread, seemingly universal aspect of mankind: that it believes. As he has done in previous books, Dennett draws on science, history, psychology, sociology, and other disciplines to explore the issue. He tells how early myths and tales evolved into higher belief systems and organized religion. He observes that there seems to be an innate tendency to belief and a need for a God-view. He asks whether belief stands in the way of a clear and true perception of the world and ourselves. Without trivializing or disparaging belief or believers, Dennett is nevertheless intellectually rigorous in his pursuit of a rational explanation for religion.
