Anthony Campbell


Biography:

I am a retired physician with many interests outside medicine. Please see my website for details. My general attitude to many things is sceptical; I have books in print from this point of view, on homeopathy and religion, as well as a historical book on the Persian sect of the Assassins.

Totality Beliefs and the Religious Imagination
Ebook Price: $2.45 USD. 56240 words. Non-Fiction by Anthony Campbell on November 1, 2009
There seems to be a widespread notion that belief is, in itself, a good thing, but in this book I argue that, for at least some people, freeing oneself from all belief systems brings a huge sense of relief. I illustrate this by describing my own experience of Roman Catholicism and Transcendental Meditation. An insider's view of religion and moving beyond religion.
The Assassins of Alamut
Ebook Price: $2.45 USD. 39770 words. Non-Fiction by Anthony Campbell on October 31, 2009
The Assassins were a heretical Muslim sect.We think of them mostly in connection with political murder but there is much more to them than this. They had a remarkable philosophical system and their ideas were influential in Islam and even outside it. Here I tell their story, from their foundation at the end of the eleventh century to their downfall 150 years later at the hands of the Mongols.
Religion, Language, Narrative and the Search for Meaning
Ebook Price: $2.45 USD. 56510 words. Non-Fiction by Anthony Campbell on October 29, 2009
This is a book about religion from a secular standpoint which nevertheless takes its subject seriously. Contrary to some secularists I don't think religion is likely to disappear any time soon. I try to develop a way of thinking about religion, using two main clues: language and narrative. Narrative is how most religious people encounter their religions, because humans are story-telling animals.
Homeopathy In Perspective: A Critical Appraisal
Ebook Price: $2.45 USD. 51720 words. Non-Fiction by Anthony Campbell on October 24, 2009
This is is a book about homeopathy: what it is, how it developed, where it stands today. It is written for people with questioning minds; anyone who has adopted a fixed opinion in advance about homeopathy, either for or against, may receive the odd shock. It is written with "insider knowledge"; I was a consultant physician at the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital for over 20 years.
