David Hume is the greatest and also one of the most provocative
philosophers to have written in the English language. No
philosopher is more important for his careful, critical, and deeply
perceptive examination of the grounds for belief in divine powers
and for his sceptical accounts of the causes and consequences of
religious belief, expressed most powerfully in the Dialogues
Concerning Natural Religion and The Natural History of Religion.
The Dialogues ask if belief in God can be inferred from the nature
of the universe or whether it is even consistent with what we know
about the universe. The Natural History of Religion investigates
the origins of belief, and follows its development from harmless
polytheism to dogmatic monotheism. Together they constitute the
most formidable attack upon the rationality of religious belief
ever mounted by a philosopher. This edition also includes Section
XI of The Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding and a letter
concerning the Dialogues, as well as particularly helpful critical
apparatus and abstracts of the main texts, enabling the reader to
locate or relocate key topics. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years
Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of
literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects
Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate
text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert
introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the
text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
