Is religion a product of blind evolutionary instinct or rational choice? Is it truly the best way to live a moral life? Ranging through biology, history, and psychology, Daniel C. Dennett charts religion’s evolution from “wild” folk belief to “domesticated” dogma. Not an antireligious screed but an unblinking look beneath the veil of orthodoxy, \u003ci\u003eBreaking the Spell\u003c\/i\u003e will be read and debated by believers and skeptics alike.","brand":"Dennett, Daniel C.","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":44054422847712,"sku":"","price":16.2,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/files\/BNCImageAPI_95a93355-994b-41c0-968c-7286b121f5b9.jpg?v=1686857848","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/breaking-the-spellbooks","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
