Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion - Paperback - 9781419115783

Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion is a philosophical work written by David Hume, a prominent Scottish philosopher and historian. The book consists of a series of fictional dialogues between three characters, Cleanthes, Demea, and Philo, who debate the existence and nature of God.Cleanthes argues for the existence of God based on the design and order of the natural world, while Demea argues for the existence of God based on faith and revelation. Philo, however, takes a skeptical approach and challenges the arguments of both Cleanthes and Demea, ultimately concluding that the nature of God is unknowable and that the existence of God cannot be proven or disproven.The book explores various philosophical concepts related to religion, including the problem of evil, the nature of God, and the limits of human knowledge. Hume's writing is known for its skepticism and critical approach to traditional religious beliefs, and Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion is no exception.Overall, Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion is a thought-provoking and challenging work that continues to be studied and debated by philosophers and theologians today.It Seems Strange To Me, Said Cleanthes, That You, Demea, Who Are So Sincere In The Cause Of Religion, Should Still Maintain The Mysterious, Incomprehensible Nature Of The Deity, And Should Insist So Strenuously That He Has No Manner Of Likeness Or Resemblance To Human Creatures. The Deity, I Can Readily Allow, Possesses Many Powers And Attributes Of Which We Can Have No Comprehension: This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
