Agnosticism: A Very Short Introduction
In this Very Short Introduction, Robin Le Poidevin sets the philosophical case for agnosticism and explores it as a historical and cultural phenomenon. He challenges the common wisdom about agnosticism among both believers and atheists, and invites the reader to rethink their own position on the issues. This stimulating and provocative guide takes issue on many points with the assertions of prominent atheists such as Richard Dawkins.
Agnosticism, Atheism, Monism
Agnosticism is the modern variation on the ancient theme of the Greek philosopher, “All I know is that I know nothing.” Agnosticism is lack of reason, nescience rather than ignorance. Having found gnosis we cannot turn our backs on it and become agnostics, says a Master of Wisdom. The strong Agnostic assumes the negative position of knowing nothing but phenomena and refuses to believe in anything else. The weak Agnostic may be ready to entertain new ideas, but the light of Truth will always blind the religious bigot. With the exception of psychism, every other –ism is a shade of materialism — a science without a soul. Ancient pagans held far deeper views on the First Cause and its em...

Beyond Beliefs
Beyond Beliefs: The Philosophy of Agnosticism Beyond Beliefs: The Philosophy of Agnosticism is a bold invitation to explore the limits of human knowledge and the essence of doubt. In this profound philosophical journey, Logan Gray unveils the historical, epistemological, and cultural roots of agnosticism—a stance that challenges both religious dogmatism and absolute skepticism. Through a rich and provocative analysis, the author guides readers through questions that transcend the everyday: What does it mean not to know? How does humanity grapple with the unknowable? With a critical yet respectful approach, the book delves into topics ranging from cosmological arguments and the impact of evolution to the intricate relationships between science, spirituality, and society. More than just a philosophy, Beyond Beliefs is a way of thinking—a manifesto for intellectual humility in a world overflowing with illusory certainties. This is an essential book for curious minds seeking to understand themselves and the universe, not as a set of definitive answers but as a journey toward the unknown.
The Agnostic Age
The Agnostic Age: Law, Religion, and the Constitution is a book for lawyers, law professors, law students, lawmakers, and any citizen who cares about church-state conflict and about the relationship between religion and liberal democracy. It provides a way to understand and balance the conflicts that inevitably arise when neighbors struggle with neighbors, and when liberal democracy tries to reach common ground with religious beliefs and practices. Paul Horwitz argues that the fundamental reason for the church-state conflict is our aversion to questions of religious truth. By trying to avoid the question of religious truth, law and religion has ultimately only reached a state of incoherence....
Agnosticism
In a time marked by prominent public clashes between theists and atheists, much less attention has been given to the question of agnosticism, whether in public debate or in academic literature. This is all the more surprising given that so many in Western society feel unable to identify unequivocally with either theism or atheism. This book brings together some leading contemporary philosophers, from both the analytic and continental traditions, to give a sustained and in-depth treatment of the question of agnosticism. Approaching the question from a variety of stances and employing different methodologies, the contributors explore the various possible meanings of agnosticism today. Several ...
