Agnosticism: A Very Short Introduction

Product details

Agnosticism (A Very Short Introduction) by Robin Le Boisdivan... What is agnosticism? How did it develop? And who were the first to call themselves "agnostics"? Agnosticism is more complex than simply not adhering to or rejecting religious belief, and this book in the "Very Short Introduction" series explores this. It discusses some of the preconceptions and assumptions held by both believers and atheists about agnosticism, presents its philosophical arguments, and poses the central question: Is agnosticism the right position to take? It examines whether it involves more than just the absence of belief. The book argues that agnosticism is not limited to the religious sphere but extends to science and ethics, and that it should be considered a historical and cultural phenomenon. Can a believer be agnostic in some respects? And can an agnostic live a religious life?
