new book: Dennett's Breaking the Spell

a recent review from NY Times Book Reviews on Daniel Dennett's new one Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon. still touting strict physicalism, Dennett tries to explain away religion by describing its evolutionary-psychological origins. according to the review, written by Leon Wieseltier, the literary editor of The New Republic, he fails miserably. A powerful excerpt from the review: "You cannot disprove a belief unless you disprove its content. If you believe that you can disprove it any other way, by describing its origins or by describing its consequences, then you do not believe in reason."
