Recenzje

The essays in Agnosticism: Explorations in Philosophy and Religious Thought add up to more than the sum of their parts. The book becomes a manifesto for a New Agnosticism that goes far beyond the established definitions of weak agnosticism, strong agnosticism, permanent, temporary, cancellation, and skeptical agnosticism ... these nuances point toward new possibilities as the concept of agnosticism moves beyond its connection to Western views of theism ... [an] excellent book
