内容简介
In the posthumously published "Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion", the Enlightenment philosopher David Hume attacked many of the traditional arguments for the existence of God, expressing the belief that religion is founded on ignorance and irrational fears. Though calm and courteous in tone - at times even tactfully ambiguous - the conversations between Hume's vividly realized fictional figures form perhaps the most searching case ever mounted against orthodox Christian theological thinking and the 'deism' of the time, which pointed to the wonders of creation as conclusive evidence of God's Design. Hume's characters debate these issues with extraordinary passion, lucidity and humor, in one of the most compelling philosophical works ever written.
作者简介
大卫·休谟（David Hume?，1711年4月26日—1776年8月25日），苏格兰哲学家，出生于爱丁堡，与约翰·洛克（John Locke）及乔治·贝克莱（George Berkeley）并称三大英国经验主义者。其特点在于重视从“生活经验”中提炼出哲学观点，如“知识来源于印象而非理性”，认为没有事实可由先验（a priori）方法被证明。卢梭等后世学人深受其影响。康德亦综合他同理性主义哲学家的观点创建起“正反合”的理论。他的很多学说目前还不被人们所理解。
