A very challenging read. About half way through it became clear to me that this will need several readings, returning at intervals as I read other philosophical works in the series. It does make a strong point for an Agnostic not merely being an Atheist who does not have the courage of his convictions. It uses scientific principle and does take some pains to explain the rational theory behind each philosophical test, I did learn something about the rational school, logical positivism, the cynics and various schools of philosophy. Along with Descartes, Hume and Richard Dawkins to name a few. I believe that I remain convinced that I am truly an agnostic and as such I also believe that it is possible to participate in organized religion as such.
Stimulating stuff with a great amount of mental effort needed by those of us unused to reading philosophical texts daily.
