Description
Anders Kraal’s work provides a comprehensive analysis of David Hume’s complex engagement with the problem of God. Rather than presenting Hume as simply an atheist critic, Kraal explores the nuanced ways in which Hume’s empiricist philosophy undermines classical arguments for God’s existence, particularly the design argument and ontological proofs.
The book examines how Hume’s skeptical method challenges the foundations of natural theology while maintaining a careful distance from dogmatic atheism. Kraal discusses Hume’s influential works, including the Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion, and contextualizes his ideas within the broader philosophical landscape of the Enlightenment. The study offers valuable insights into how empiricist epistemology shapes religious philosophy and remains relevant to contemporary debates about faith and reason.
