  • Dive Ten (Part 2). The nexus of Dol Baran and The Lord of the Rings.
    May 4 2023
    Sauron is analysed here in all his diabolical majesty. Is he 'Absolute evil'? Tolkien felt that redemption was still available and grapples with the Problem of Evil. The Atheist considers this philosophy as a stepping stone to deeper wisdom. Evil is under the microscope here and it's ephemeral antidote!

  • Dive Ten: The nexus of Dol Baran and The Lord of the Rings. (Part 1.)
    May 4 2023

    This short scene, right in the centre of the whole book, is a fulcrum of decisions that prove to have ramifications of the greatest import. Setting the main characters upon their catacysmic arcs to the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. Finally the vital link betwixt The Two Towers is made and a Palantir is discovered (or thrown) and it is via this psycho-visual link that we finally, briefly and once only, meet the greatest diabolical villain of all English literature, Sauron the Great. And the contrast with his interlocutor could not be greater, the youngest, by far, of the Fellowship, Pippin. But is Sauron really that great? The Atheist in Middle Earth examines him closely and finds in fact a stepping stone of philosophical thought to true evil and how to best counter and defeat it.
