This title provides a fascinating insight into how some the great thinkers of the 19th and 20th centuries came to terms with the persistence of theistic conviction. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, some of the most important and influential heirs of the Enlightenment tradition - Ludwig Feuerbach, Emile Durkheim, Sigmund Freud, and Friedrich Nietzsche - wondered, implicitly, why belief in God persists and even flourishes among those who should in some sense know better. In "Bad Faith" explores aspects of these thinkers through the prism of their thoughts and musings on the continued belief in the existence of God, providing fresh insight into their work, while advancing understanding of the puzzlement they addressed.
