Overview
Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion was written by Scottish philosopher David Hume and published in 1779
. In the work, Hume, a well-known atheist, explores whether religious belief can be rational. Because Hume is an empiricist (one who thinks that all knowledge comes through experience) he thinks that a belief is rational only if it is sufficiently supported by experiential evidence. Thus, the question boils down to whether there enough evidence in the world to allow us to infer an infinitely good, wise, powerful, perfect God.Read the free full text of the work, the overall summary, and Question & Answers about key ideas in Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion.
