Hume on religion : selected and introduced

David Hume is the greatest of British philosophers. His Treatise of Human Nature and his Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding are familiar landmarks in the history of thought. His writings on religion have, on the other hand, fallen into undeserved neglect. Richard Wollheim, who has here collected and introduced them, argues their importance both as a contribution to the literature and thought of the eighteenth century and as offering a unique view of the range, the brilliance and the fertility of Hume's intellect. Penetrating, witty, elegant and daring they epitomize the quality of the greatest skeptical intelligence in the history of British philosophy.
