Story
Christopher Hitchens continues to make the case for a splendidly godless universe in this first-ever gathering of the influential voices past and present that have shaped his side of the current (and raging) God/no-god debate. With Hitchens as your erudite and witty guide, you'll be led through a wealth of philosophy, literature, and scientific inquiry, including generous portions of the words of Lucretius, Benedict de Spinoza, Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, Mark Twain, and more.

Had to return this and buy the Kindle version

The concept is great, and the reader’s voice is pleasant, but I was defeated by too many distracting mispronunciations. “Solipsist” becomes “solipist”, “vinous” beomes “vineous”, etc., etc. It may not matter to some, but it bothers me. I’m reading this one in pixel form.

Story
Immanuel Kant's "transcendental" philosophy transcends the question of "what" we know to ask "how" we know it. Before Kant, philosophers had debated for centuries whether knowledge is derived from experience or reason. Kant says that both views are partly right and partly wrong, that they share the same error; both believe that the mind and the world, reason and nature, are separated from one another.

Theatrical accents don’t help
Reviewed: 02-04-18
I have enjoyed this series, but the overblown German accents in this particular episode detract from the experience.
