S3E32 - Hume on Natural Religion
Manage episode 366699209 series 2877940
In this episode Chris brings us Opinion Scholarship on the philosopher David Hume thorough his "Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion". Just as Hume famously asked "can we derive an ought from an is?" here he asks: Is there anything about the facts of the world that can tell us anything about God? Does God exist? If so, how? What does God want? Does it want anything? Etcetera and so on. In exploring this question, God is conceptualized as the God of Monotheism, of Pantheism, of Idealism and even of Panpsychism.
