In cosa crede chi crede?    di Maurizio Ferraris


"...to obey is one thing, to believe is another... belief requires teachers and arguments drawn either from reason, or from some thing already believed."

questionario


Ottimo per chi pensa che Dio dovrebbe esssere unSuperman sempre pronto a salvare ogni bambino che sta per cadere dalla finestra, ogni fumatore che sta per accendere una sigaretta, ecc. E anche per chi pensa che avrebbe potuto fare un mondo migliore, che non evolve per supernove, per movimenti di zolle, per competizione e cooperazione tra organismi. E\' una stragrande maggioranza.
