Summary: A Book By Humanists For Humanists
Comment: Here are the authors that contribute to this volume: Richard Rorty, Paul Kurtz, Ann Druyan(Carl Sagan's wife), Richard Dawkins, Antony Flew, John Passmore, Adolf Grunbaum, Karl Popper, George A. Wells, Edward O. Wilson, Thelma Levine, Elena Bonner.

Although it would be very time-consuming to present fair critiques of the works of all the above authors, I feel that there are severe problems with the modernistic world view with it's sensationism, materialism, objectivist epistemology, relativism, and atheism. There are also severe problems with the solipsism, obession with language and grammatology, and extreme relativism of the so-called post-modernists. Although both of these sides have some good points to make, I feel that the best way is always the middle-one. This book reflects a more extreme rationalism than I'm comfortable with. Yet, I enjoyed the book.
