«Diálogos sobre la religión natural» is the philosophical dialogue by David Hume, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback in 1999 (172 pages, in Spanish).
In this work, three characters —Demea, Philo and Cleanthes— debate the existence of God and the limits of human knowledge of the divine. Throughout the conversation, the design argument and the problem of evil are examined, in an inquiry into speculative theism and religious experience.
Hume began writing these dialogues in 1750 and completed them in 1776; they were published posthumously in 1779. The Alianza edition includes a prologue by Carlos Mellizo.
A work commonly read in philosophy studies, for those approaching modern thought and reflection on religion.
David Hume was a Scottish philosopher, historian, economist and essayist who is known for his highly influential system of empiricism, philosophical scepticism and metaphysical naturalism. Beginning with A Treatise of Human Nature (1739–40), Hume strove to create a naturalistic science of man that examined the psychological basis of human nature. Following John Locke, Hume rejected the existence of innate ideas, holding that all our ideas derive ultimately from impressions, but in his fork he distinguished relations of ideas, known a priori, from matters of fact, whose knowledge rests on experience. This places him in the empiricist tradition of Locke and George Berkeley, while drawing his experimental method from Francis Bacon.
