'The most esteemed philosopher to have produced a general introduction to his discipline since Bertrand Russell' __Independent__ In these essays, one of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century writes about communism and socialism, the problem of evil, Erasmus and the reform of the Church, reason and truth, and whether God is happy. Accessible and absorbing, the essays in __Is God Happy?__ deal with some of the eternal problems of philosophy and the most vital questions of our age.
