Description
Summary:Although the atheist position of the English ethologist Richard Dawkins (1941) is closely associated with the publication of his work The god delusion (2006), intellectually, his non-religious worldview was developed in his early works, particularly in The selfish gene (1976) and The blind watchmaker (1986). In this article, my objective is to talk about how the neo-Darwinism intellectual scene of the second half of the 20th century forged Richard Dawkins' atheism. Based on this epistemic basis, he develops an interpretation of the religious phenomenon presented in the book The god delusion.
Apesar da posição ateísta do etólogo inglês Richard Dawkins (1941) estar bastante associada à publicação de sua obra Deus, um delírio (2006), intelectualmente sua visão de mundo não religiosa foi desenvolvida em suas primeiras obras, particularmente em O gene egoísta (1976) e O relojoeiro cego (1986). Nesse artigo, busco dissertar sobre como o ateísmo de Richard Dawkins foi forjado no cenário intelectual neodarwinista da segunda metade do século XX. A partir dessa base epistêmica é que ele oferece uma interpretação para o fenômeno religioso no livro Deus, um delírio.
