A provocative conversation about belief that still asks the right questions. What do reason and faith share, and where do they clash? Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion reintroduces David Hume's enduring meditation on what the world can tell us about the divine. In a sequence of intimate dialogues, the text probes natural religion enquiry, the limits of human reason, and the stubborn pull of morality and deity. It's a philosophy essay and a dialogue philosophy treatise rolled into one-lucid, provocative, and deeply human-inviting readers to weigh evidence, doubt certainty, and imagine a rational approach to the sacred. This restored edition is a bridge to eighteenth century europe and the scottish enlightenment, preserving a landmark in classics of religious philosophy while signalling its relevance for today's readers. Its elegance and brisk argument appeal to casual readers and to those building an academic study guide or undergraduate philosophy course. It speaks to public reading groups and serious students alike, offering a disciplined yet accessible account of how early modern religious debate shaped modern thought. Selling points: out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions; restored for today's and future generations; more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. A valuable addition to any library, this volume sustains a conversation that continues to illuminate how we navigate reason, faith, and our shared human search for meaning.
Autorenporträt
David Hume (7 May 1711 NS - 25 August 1776) was a Scottish Enlightenment philosopher, student of history, economist, librarian, and writer. He is most popular for his profoundly persuasive philosophical empiricism, skepticism, and naturalism. argued against the presence of intrinsic thoughts, positing that all human information derives solely from experience. He studied philosophy at the College of Edinburgh at an abnormally early age of 12 or 13. Hume never wedded and resided partly at his Berwickshire home in Chirnside, which had a place with his family beginning around 1604. Hume's doctor determined him to have the "Sickness of the Learned" after he created scurvy and different maladies. He was secretary to General James St Clair, who was an emissary to Turin and Vienna. Hume wrote A Treatise of Human Nature in 1738 and The History of England in 1754. In 1745, during the Jacobite risings, Hume mentored the Marquess of Annandale (1720-92), an engagement that finished in confusion. He is viewed as one of the main philosophers to write in English. The David Hume Tower, a University of Edinburgh building, was renamed in a protest over his writing on race.
