One of the most prominent English intellectuals has written a book about one of the most important intellectual movements of our time. Peter Watson was the first to bring together the works of a wide variety of gifted people who joyfully accepted atheism, the proclaimed death of God, and began to look for other ways of life, discovered or glorified other approaches to the meaning of our existence. Many dark prophets of the 20th century expressed the horror of the picture of a cold and unprotected world, in which there is no God. Lifeless desert, meaningless emptiness, absurd existence, eternal loneliness. Is it possible to try to live in such a world with self-confidence, resourcefulness, hope, intelligence and enthusiasm?
