'Moet u zich eens voorstellen wat voor boek een kapelaan van de duivel zou kunnen schrijven over de onhandige, verspillende, blunderende en gruwelijk gemene werken van de natuur.'
Dit schreef Darwin in 1856 aan een vriend. Maar, hoe gruwelijk en onhandig ook, willekeurig zijn de evolutionaire processen allerminst, zo laat Richard Dawkins zien in zijn even nuchtere als helder onderbouwde werk.
Kapelaan van de duivel is een veelzijdig boek.
Dawkins schrijft over zijn bewondering voor Darwins werk tegen de klippen van het geloof op, over de fouten van het jurysysteem in de rechtspraak, over zijn afkeer van postmodern relativisme en over vele andere onderwerpen.
Dawkins werk staat in het teken van gezond verstand; het is een verzameling onweerlegbare argumenten in gecompliceerde discussies. Bovendien vertegenwoordigen deze stukken een persoonlijker kant van Richard Dawkins.
Wetenschap is voor hem 'levend plezier', en dat straalt ervan af.
