Body Mind & Spirit : Spirituality

A brilliant, elegant argument for spirituality without God. Can we do without religion? Can we have ethics without God? Is there such thing as “atheist spirituality”? In this powerful book, the internationally bestselling author André Comte-Sponville presents a philosophical exploration of atheism—and comes to some startling conclusions.
