CRÍTICAS RECORRENTES E ANÁLISE DAS IDEIAS DO LIVRO “DEUS, UM DELÍRIO” DE RICHARD DAWKINS NO CONTEXTO DA PÓS-MODERNIDADE
Resumo
O presente texto procura contextualizar e explicitar os principais argumentos e algumas das críticas feitas às ideias anti-religiosas do cientista britânico Richard Dawkins. No seu livro, “Deus, um delírio”, o problema da existência de Deus é criticado enquanto um problema científico, ou seja, Dawkins critica a ideia da crença na existência de uma inteligência suprema e criadora do mundo enquanto fundadora da religião e de todos os malefícios que ela autoriza. Para Dawkins, a crença em Deus é perniciosa e além de tudo um delírio já que as pessoas acreditam nele mesmo sabendo que é quase certo que seja improcedente. No final deste texto, existem críticas relevantes que foram feitas a estes argumentos, principalmente as de Terry Eagleton, filósofo que pensa que os argumentos de Dawkins, além de carecerem de conhecimento teológico usam a ciência para pensar coisas que não são de sua alçada.
Palavras-chave: Ateísmo. Religião. Dawkins. Deus. Pós-modernidade.
