Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the negative consequences of uncritical belief on morality. The author, Geoffrey Mortimer, argues that credulity has resulted in many of humanity's ills, including violence, intolerance, and a lack of progress in many areas of human endeavor. Mortimer traces the roots of this uncritical belief back to the early days of Christianity when the Church sought to suppress dissent and stamp out pagan beliefs. He illustrates how this suppression of reason and freethought has led to a lack of intellectual curiosity and an unwillingness to question authority. Mortimer contends that in order to build a more just and equitable world, we must embrace rationality and critical inquiry over blind acceptance of dogma and tradition. This book is a powerful critique of the negative impact of uncritical belief and makes a compelling case for the importance of reason in shaping a better society.
