Капеллан дьявола

The shark swims better than a human, the cheetah runs better, the swift flies better, and the capuchin climbs better. The elephant is stronger than a human, and the sequoia is more long-lived. However, as the author of the books... “The Selfish Gene” and “God Is an Illusion” reminds us, we have something much more valuable: an understanding of natural selection and a disdain for its fruits, the gift of foresight and a mind capable of penetrating the essence of things and encompassing the entire universe. In his essays on science, religion, and common sense, the famous naturalist and philosopher urges the reader to abandon illusions and see wonders in what reality itself presents to us.
