false 80313 45 Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion is a philosophical work written by the Scottish philosopher David Hume. Thru dialogue, three fictional characters named Demea, Philo & Cleanthes debate the nature of God's existence. While all three agree that a god exists, they differ sharply in opinion on God's nature or attributes & how, or if, humankind can come to knowledge of a deity. In the Dialogues, Hume's characters debate a number of arguments for the existence of God, & arguments whose proponents believe thru which we may come to know the nature of God. Such topics debated include the argument from design--for which Hume uses a house--& whether there is more suffering or good in the world (argument from evil). Hume started writing the Dialogues in 1750 but did not complete them until 1776, shortly before his death. They are based partly on Cicero's De Natura Deorum. The Dialogues were published posthumously in 1779, originally with neither the author's nor the publisher's name. 1373641 1779 Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion/Of the Immortality of the Soul/Of Suicide/Of Miracles total:258|5:97|4:85|3:60|2:13|1:3| 258 1034 413 16 6532470 1 1 4.01 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1244435487m/6532470.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6532470-dialogues-concerning-natural-religion 5 0 false Sat Apr 01 00:00:00 -0800 1978 Sun Jun 07 21:41:42 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 07 21:54:40 -0700 2009 1
