In his previous works, Marks has rejected both the existence of such a morality and the need to maintain verbal, attitudinal, practical, and institutional remnants of belief in it. This book develops these ideas further, with emphasis on constructing a positive alternative. Calling it \"desirism\", Marks illustrates what life and the world would be like if we lived in accordance with our rational desires rather than the dictates of any actual or pretend morality, neither overlaying our desires with moral sanction nor attempting to override them with moral strictures. \u003ci\u003eHard Atheism and the Ethics of Desire \u003c\/i\u003ealso argues that atheism thereby becomes more plausible than the so-called New Atheism that attempts to give up God and yet retain morality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joel Marks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319437984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319437989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/06\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2017","brand":"Joel Marks","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089086755071,"sku":"9783319437989","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d1d3f07b-c412-4512-98e4-1ab06a735867.jpg?v=1769108120","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hard-atheism-and-the-ethics-joel-marks-9783319437989","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
