About the Book

Does goodness require God? Do we need eternity for meaningful lives? Should we believe in God without evidence? With historical adherents as various as Mark Twain, Einstein, Freud, Philip Pullman and Frank Zappa, humanism’s central quest is to live with meaning with no need for the supernatural. Showing how humanists make sense of the world using reason, experience and sensitivity, Cave emphasises that we can, and should, flourish without God. Lively, provocative and refreshingly rant-free, this audiobook is essential listening for all – whether atheist, agnostic, believer, or of no view – who wish better to understand what it means to be human.

About the Author :
Writer and broadcaster Peter Cave teaches philosophy for The Open University and City University London. Author of the bestselling Can A Robot Be Human?, he chairs the Humanist Philosophers’ Group, frequently contributes to philosophy journals and magazines, from the academic to the popular, and has presented several philosophy programmes for the BBC. He lives in London. Andrea is an actor, author and comedian renowned for her characterisations (one of her personas wrote Strain Your Gherkins by Ethel Chop in 2007). She has written and performed seven comedies for theatre, for which she has received three Comedy Awards and one Green Room Awards nomination. She has appeared on TV in The Panel, Kath & Kim, The Librarians, City Homicide, Neighbours and Judith Lucy’s Spiritual Journey.

Review :
“An admirable guide for all those non-religious who may wake up to the fact that they are humanists … What we have in common is, indeed, not faith but our humanity.” "Some religious commentators say that the humanist life is immoral because it is godless; that it is meaningless because it knows of no deity or afterlife and there are only a few humanists in the UK compared with the number of godbelievers. They are wrong on all counts as this splendid book makes clear. Humanism is loving, sharing and caring and above all an intelligent philosophical way to make the best of our own and our neighbours’ lives. I could not commend it more."
