Description: Agnosticism by Robin Le Poidevin Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description What is agnosticism? Is it a belief, or just the absence of belief? What is the agnostic principle? Robin Le Poidevin takes a philosophical approach to the issue of agnosticism, challenging some of the common assumptions, arguing in favour of the agnostic attitude, and considering its place in society and education. Publisher Description What is agnosticism? Is it just the dont know position on God, or is there more to it than this? Is it a belief, or merely the absence of belief? Who were the first to call themselves agnostics? These are just some of the questions that Robin Le Poidevin considers in this Very Short Introduction. He sets the philosophical case for agnosticism and explores it as a historical and cultural phenomenon. What emerges is a much moresophisticated, and much more interesting, attitude than a simple failure to either commit to, or reject, religious belief. Le Poidevin challenges some preconceptions and assumptions among both believers andnon-atheists, and invites the reader to rethink their own position on the issues.
