What is agnosticism? Is it just the 'don't know' position on God,
or is there more to it than this? Is it a belief, or merely the
absence of belief? Who were the first to call themselves
'agnostics'? These are just some of the questions that Robin Le
Poidevin considers in this Very Short Introduction. He sets the
philosophical case for agnosticism and explores it as a historical
and cultural phenomenon. What emerges is a much more sophisticated,
and much more interesting, attitude than a simple failure to either
commit to, or reject, religious belief. Le Poidevin challenges some
preconceptions and assumptions among both believers and
non-atheists, and invites the reader to rethink their own position
on the issues. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions
