Hume's Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion

By Andrew Seth Pringle-Pattison

Book Overview

Hume's Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion is a philosophical work written by Scottish philosopher David Hume. The book is a dialogue between three characters, Cleanthes, Philo, and Demea, who discuss the nature of God and religion. Cleanthes argues for the existence of God through the design argument, while Philo raises objections to this argument and questions the nature of God. Demea represents a traditional, orthodox view of religion and argues that God's existence cannot be proven through reason. The book explores themes such as the problem of evil, the limitations of human knowledge, and the nature of religious belief. This edition of the book is edited by A. Seth Pringle-Pattison and includes an introduction and notes that provide context and analysis of the text.THIS 30 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Idea of God in the Light of Recent Philosophy, by A.
