Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion is a philosophical work that concerns three philosophers named Demea, Philo, and Cleanthes, who debate the nature of God's existence. While all three agree that a god exists, they differ sharply in opinion on God's nature or attributes, and how, or if, humankind can come to knowledge of a deity. Such topics debated include the argument from design, and whether there is more suffering or good in the world.
Hume started writing the Dialogues in 1750 but did not complete them until 1776, shortly before his death. They are based partly on Cicero's De Natura Deorum, written in 45 BC. The Dialogues were published posthumously in 1779, originally with neither the author's nor the publisher's name. The dialogues are supportive of mainstream theism in an ironic fashion and the book is essentially a counter apologetic work. The book argues for scepticism in subjects that are far removed from human experience.
This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.
