The Four Horsemen Av Richard (Oxford University) Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel C. Dennett, Christopher Hitchens

<p><b>_________________</b><br><br><b>Includes a foreword by STEPHEN FRY</b><br><br><b><i>''A classic for our time...And all time.''</i> - Michael Shermer<br><br><i>''The words of Hitchens, Dawkins, Harris and Dennett are needed more than ever. These are the heirs to Voltaire.''</i> - Matt Ridley</b><br><br>Known as the ‘four horsemen’ of New Atheism, these four big thinkers of the twenty-first century met only once. Their electrifying examination of ideas on this remarkable occasion was intense and wide-ranging. Everything that was said as they agreed and disagreed with one another, interrogated ideas and exchanged insights – about religion and atheism, science and sense – speaks with urgency to our present age. <br><br>Questions they asked of each other included: ‘Is it ever possible to win a war of ideas? Is spirituality the preserve of the religious? Are there any truths you would rather not know? Would you want to see the end of faith?’ <br>The dialogue was recorded, and is now transcribed and presented here with new introductions from the surviving three horsemen. <br><br>With a sparkling introduction from Stephen Fry, it makes essential reading for all their admirers and for anyone interested in exploring the tensions between faith and reason.</p>
