ATHEISTIC PRAGMATISM

(for a pragmatic atheism, that considers the reality in its entirety and complexity, getting over that materialistic ridutionism that sees the feelings and emotions sphere as a simple epiphenomenon of the matter)


The atheism represents an attitude rather definite in its denying the existence of every divinity, but if are asked it which philosophy has as its base it becomes extremely difficult to obtain a clear answer out
of a generic materialism, to which traditionally the atheism does reference. More precisely, to the question: <<Which is the conception
of the world on which is founded the atheism ? >> an answer only approximate and generic is possible. Our atheistic pragmatism intends furnish a better answer to get over the traditional monistic materialism,
assuming to this purpose a pluralist philosophic theory ground, that leads it to see the concerning man reality with characters of clear and explicit duality. Then we have now an existential dualism, but very different of all traditional dualisms as becomes very clear yet with the reading of the first chapters of "Necessity and liberty".
