David Hume: Dialogues and/on Naturalism

Petr Dvořák, Tomáš Marvan


The course is an introduction to Hume's thought on religion. Being a sharp critic of both revealed religion and the
accompanying metaphysical outlook, the Scottish philosopher David Hume (1711–1776) based his challenge to
the traditional philosophy of the schools on empiricist epistemology. Hence the course focuses on Dialogues
Concerning Natural Religion (1779) and other materials in order to examine Hume’s naturalistic stand and its
underlying epistemological suppositions. What is at stake is the nature, assumptions, validity and coherence of
naturalism in Hume and in general.

The course is a kind of a working seminar, a dialogue of a couple of researchers from two departments of the
Institute of Philosophy, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (an expert on scholasticism and an expert on
early modern philosophy and naturalism); however, it is open to non-specialists as it provides a good introduction
to the transition from ancient and medieval outlook to the modern mind.
