The Atheist's Guide to Reality

Enjoying Life without Illusions

Book • 1982

In this book, Alex Rosenberg presents a radical and uncompromising form of philosophical naturalism, arguing that the methods of science are the only reliable ways to secure knowledge of anything.

He advocates for a 'scientistic' view, where physics is seen as the ultimate truth about reality.

Rosenberg also discusses moral nihilism, drawing on J.L.

Mackie's arguments, and posits that moral disputes cannot be resolved by finding correct answers because such answers do not exist.

Instead, moral beliefs are subjective and based on personal preferences.
