I'm afraid I lost interest in it part way through. Too much happening right now. Also, I focus mostly on England and France was rather different. I will get back to it at some point. When liberal democracy has been saved. XD

Do you have any history writings btw?? I am a sucker for English/French/German history from 500-1919...
-
Yes, but I'm not sure if it will be your kind of thing. I'm a heavily historical literature student but it's religious writing I study. Maybe, the subjectivity & Augustinian interiority one would be best here: https://qmul.academia.edu/HelenPluckrose

So, will they devote an adequate amount of discussing their blind spots?
-
Who? When? They make their arguments and then other people can respond. And they respond to each other in disagreement.
-
None of them have anything definitive to say about God, free will or consciousness and yet they and their acolytes act as if they do. Those blind spots aside, their real strength, which I appreciate, is the constant fine tuning of the arguments within their fields of inquiry.
-
Well, obviously, we all think people we disagree with have blind spots but that is what discussion and argument is for.
-
True, but Dennett refers to himself and those who are likeminded as ‘Brights’ and Dawkins regards teaching the Bible to children as a form of child abuse. Honestly.
