| 520 | |a Richard Dawkins holds Oxford's Charles Simonyi Chair for the Public Understanding of Science. In his move from ethologist to evolutionary theorist, he has entered the public sphere as a vocal opponent of irrationalism. With his Channel Four (UK) television documentary The Root of All Evil? and his accompanying book The God Delusion he pulls no punches in lambasting people of faith as not only dippy thinkers but also as abusers of children's trusting minds. This article sees Dawkins's overt rhetoric designed to achieve a cultural goal: to reinvigorate aspects of the Enlightenment Project he finds worthwhile—in particular, a secularism founded on reason highly suspicious of religious meta-narratives. The article asks if his heavy-handed approach is the most viable in winning the religious/secular culture war and suggests that the more centrist position of the historian and philosopher of science, Michael Ruse, might be more productive, if less provocative. | ||
