Review: André Comte-Sponville THE LITTLE BOOK OF ATHEIST SPIRITUALITY

Publication at Faculty of Arts |
2021

Abstract

The review reflects trhee main parts of the book The Little Book of Atheist Spirituality, which raise questions: "can we get along without God?", "Does God exist?" and "which spiritiuality should fit the atheists?". Comte-Sponville's grounding of the spiritiuality in so called "ocean feeling" is problematized.

His conception of atheist spiritiuality is compared to Aristotle's conception of eudaimonia, which shows surprising similarities.
