Agnostic
A Spirited Manifesto
Book • 2016
In 'Agnostic: A Spirited Manifesto', Lesley Hazleton argues for agnosticism as a robust and fulfilling philosophy that stands between atheism and traditional spirituality.
She rejects the notion that agnosticism is merely a transitional state, instead presenting it as a way of life that celebrates doubt and the mysteries of the universe.
Hazleton critiques both dogmatic atheism and traditional religious beliefs, advocating for a perspective that finds meaning and significance in the living of life itself, rather than in external or supernatural sources.
The book includes thoughtful discussions on the role of doubt in science and the human experience, as well as a compelling argument on how the absence of an afterlife can give life its true meaning.
