Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion

How can we know that God exists? Is it possible to find proof of religion`s most significant issues? Can we presume that the orderliness of the universe offers evidence of a purposeful creator? David Hume`s Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion explores these perennial questions in a thought-provoking and highly readable style. This classic examines its controversial subject in the well-known manner of the Platonic dialogues. Hume`s characters discuss God`s existence, his divinity and attributes, and the reasons behind his creation of the world. In clear, evocative prose, the debate`s participants state and defend their positions, most of which center on the concept currently known as Intelligent Design. Hume`s intense skepticism provides ingenious, persuasive refutations of the notion that reason and logic provide support for religious dogma. A work of historical importance as well as of ongoing relevance to modern life, this volume endures as both an inspiring philosophical inquiry and a literary gem.
