(2004-02-25) Orr Reviews Dawkins

H Allen Orr reviews Richard Dawkins' Devils Chaplain. Despite his breadth, Dawkins is surely best known for three things: his defense of the Selfish Gene view of biological Evolution, his invention of the Selfish Meme view of cultural evolution, and his animosity toward religion. A Devil's Chaplain takes up each of these themes, some more convincingly than others.
