Spectres of False Divinity presents a historical and critical
interpretation of Hume's rejection of the existence of a deity with
moral attributes. In Hume's view, no first cause or designer
responsible for the ordered universe could possibly have moral
attributes; nor could the existence (or non-existence) of such a
being have any real implications for human practice or conduct.
Hume's case for this 'moral atheism' is a central plank of both his
naturalistic agenda in metaphysics and his secularizing program in
moral theory. It complements his wider critique of traditional
theism, and threatens to rule out any religion that would make
claims on moral practice. Thomas Holden situates Hume's commitment
to moral atheism in its historical and philosophical context,
offers a systematic interpretation of his case for divine
amorality, and shows how Hume can endorse moral atheism while
maintaining his skeptical attitude toward traditional forms of
cosmological and theological speculation.
