Breaking the Spell

Monday, August 18th, 2008

I’ve never read anything about religion since earlier school probably 25 years ago and my education was almost materialist-marxist-leninist. However I recently became interested in various religions mostly because of the diverse workplace and my ongoing philosophical education. I stumbled upon this book in a local shop, bought and started reading while commuting to work. Halfway through I became interested in evolutionary theory and learnt about meme. Because of so many references to Dennett’s earlier book I put it aside after I finished the first two parts and I think I come back to the last third one called “Religion Today” after I finish “Darwin’s Dangerous Idea” book.
