Publisher's Summary
Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion is one of the last works completed by David Hume, a man who revolutionized our understanding of philosophy. Hume was an advocate of the skeptical school of philosophy and a key figure in the Scottish Enlightenment. In this work, he examines the philosophical arguments about the existence and nature of God. Set in ancient Greece, the birthplace of Western philosophy, the Dialogues are a debate that highlights the rationalist and empiricist perspectives, exploring what each of them have to say about our metaphysical nature.
Hume's work uses a dialogue between four characters to examine and explore the various philosophical perspectives of the Divine. This is, without a doubt, one of Hume's most colorful pieces. In this piece, he uses the form of dialogue, a classical style favored in ancient Greece. Hume shows his versatility by expressing valid arguments which assert the existence of the Divine from different points of view. He explores the argument of design, the argument of first causes, and that of the presence of suffering in the world. In essence, Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion is a well-considered and thought-provoking examination of religion and the reasons for our belief.
