Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169230019)

Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion is a philosophical work written by the Scottish philosopher David Hume. It is a conversation between three characters, Cleanthes, Philo, and Demea, who discuss the existence and nature of God, the problem of evil, and the limits of human knowledge. Cleanthes argues for the existence of God based on the design of the universe, while Philo challenges this argument and presents a skeptical view of the possibility of knowing anything about God. Demea represents a more traditional religious view, but his arguments are also challenged by Philo. The book raises important questions about the nature of faith, reason, and skepticism, and is considered one of the most important works in the philosophy of religion.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.
