Hume’s Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion

Abstract

Alexander Broadie introduces us to Hume’s Dialogues, sets Hume in his context, and explains how subtle Hume’s arguments actually are. Professor Broadie shows us how Hume’s genius is shown in the subtle but wider questions he raises. His conclusion is that in the Dialogues Hume is operating in sceptical mode, a further illustration of the diversity of his philosophical approach.
