David Hume Natural History Of Part 1
1,876 wordsDavid Hume's Natural History of Religion Warburton, disquieted by Hume's project, asked, "Would not the Moral History of Meteors be full as sensible as the Natural History of Religion?" (Livingston, 1976). Although he did not, presumably, expect an answer, we may nonetheless formulate one. Discounting revelation, Hume reasonably deduces religion's origins from two "natural" scenarios man in nature, and nature in man. The former, as we shall see, is man dramatically situated in a pre civilized se...

Eat The Fruit Forbidden Fruit
