Fates and contradictions of bourgeois atheism and humanism - the main content of this book. On its pages, the reader will meet with thinkers who are well known to him (for example, Erasmus of Rotterdam), and with philosophers whose views are not yet sufficiently covered in our literature (A. Schweitzer, P. Teilhard de Chardin). The authors of the book, Soviet and Polish experts in the field of atheism and philosophy, also touch upon such problems on which there is still no established opinion in science.
