«El espejismo de Dios» is Richard Dawkins's essay on religious criticism, published by Booket in paperback (464 pages, in Spanish).
Dawkins argues that belief in God is irrational and that religion has caused serious harm, from the Crusades to 9/11. He examines various divine images, from the tyrant of the Old Testament to the celestial watchmaker of the Enlightenment, refutes the arguments of faith, and proposes atheism as a way to better understand the universe.
It is volume 1 of Booket's Divulgación collection, within the Ética y Religión series; Spanish edition published in 2009.
For readers interested in the debate between science and religion, atheism, and criticism of religious thought.
Richard Dawkins is a British evolutionary biologist, zoologist, science communicator and author. He is an emeritus fellow of New College, Oxford. In 1995, he was named the first Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science, a position he held until 2008, and is on the advisory board of the University of Austin. Dawkins has won several academic and writing awards, among them the 2005 Shakespeare Prize and the 2006 Lewis Thomas Prize. Presenting the latter, Paul Nurse said "In eloquent, evocative prose, Richard Dawkins conveys the certainty that, rather than diminishing the myriad beauties of the universe and extinguishing wonderment at its mysteries, science reveals truths that are yet more awe-inspiring than the mysteries they solve."
