Podcasts about dialogues concerning natural religion

In Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion, philosopher David Hume examines whether belief in God can be rational. The work takes the form of a debate between three characters: Cleanthes, who argues that the existence and nature of God can be empirically verified; Demea, who argues that God is completely beyond human knowledge; and Philo, a philosophical skeptic widely thought to represent Hume's own beliefs.Much of the debate centers around Cleanthes' presentation of the analogical argument from design. According to this argument, the complexity and beauty of the universe can only be explained by inferring an intelligent designer, in the same way that one would infer a designer if one came across an intricately complicated machine. Philo presents several objections to this argument, with rejoinders by Cleanthes and occasional interjections by Demea. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode Chris brings us Opinion Scholarship on the philosopher David Hume thorough his "Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion". Just as Hume famously asked "can we derive an ought from an is?" here he asks: Is there anything about the facts of the world that can tell us anything about God? Does God exist? If so, how? What does God want? Does it want anything? Etcetera and so on. In exploring this question, God is conceptualized as the God of Monotheism, of Pantheism, of Idealism and even of Panpsychism.  (Forgive the crying child in the background during my conclusion monologue. This podcast is unedited for authenticity, but authenticity has a price from time to time) Enjoy ;)  

The week Daniel and Sam are joined by Benjamin Blake Speed Watkins, and together they dig into Ben's story, as well as the ways in which Ben has worked through his worldview and found areas of interest outside of Christianity. In this conversation, we touch on metaphysical naturalism, evolutionary evil, metaethics, the religious discourse both on and offline, and finally honing in on how to live a good life whilst raising inquisitive children.

Today we discuss the evergreen critique of the design argument from David Hume’s Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion. Hume’s skepticism is aimed at the inference to a designer on the basis of our observations of natural objects and their analogy to human artifacts. When two objects are similar effects – say a house and another house … Continue reading CA83 Hume on the Argument from Design →

Happy birthday, David Hume! I thought I’d share Hume (or more accurately, Philo) casually destroying skeptical theism in Part XI of Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion. His analogy of an architect and a poorly constructed house arose in a discussion of the problem of evil between Philo and Cleanthes, two of Hume’s fictional characters in the … Continue reading Condemn the Architect: Hume’s Answer to Skeptical Theists (Bonus Episode) →

Professor Kozlowski discusses the conclusion of Hume's Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion and the ambiguous conclusions presented by Hume and his characters on the nature of God.

Professor Kozlowski opens his discussion of Hume's Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion with a brief discussion of the difference between Rationalism and Empiricism, an analysis of Humian skepticism (as embodied by Philo), and the central argument about God's nature as presented by Cleanthes.

Professor Kozlowski discusses one of his personal favorite passages in all of philosophy, and explains how Hume's skepticism leads Philo to some unexpected possibilities.

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Nabeel Hamid and Dr. Ben Baker to discuss the design argument for God's existence, the relationship between faith and reason, and other themes from David Hume's Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Disembodied survival النجاة الروحية اللاجسدية من حلقة الحياة بعد الموت EP46: Life After Death "كثير من الفلاسفة فى مختلف الثقافات وعبر العصور نظروا لفكرة النجاة الروحية اللاجسدية. من المهم اننا نشير الا ان اى حجج ضد النظرية المثنوية بالضرورة هتعد حجج ضد فكرة النجاة اللاجسدية. وبالتبعية اى حجج لدعم فكرة المثنوية على الاقل هتفتح الباب امام الاعتقاد فى النجاة اللاجسدية، لان من الجائز اننا نرفض فكرة النجاة اللاجسدية حتى تحت عبائة النظرية المثنوية. وفى الواقع عدد كبير من فلاسفة المثنوية رفض الفكرة بالفعل. على اى حال الحجة الرئيسية ضد فكرة النجاة اللاجسدية بجانب مجموعة الحجج الداعمة للنظرية المادية materialism هى حجة طورها الفيلسوف الاسكتلندي ديفيد هيوم David Hume فى عملة المهم "حوارات بخصوص الدين الطبيعى Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion" اللى نشرة سنة 1779 ودعمها عدد كبير من الفلاسفة التابعين له،" Continue reading →

Broadly speaking, the term 'religious language' refers to statements or claims made about God or gods. Many problems arise in the field of religious language, but our principal focus in this episode will be the problems that arise within the Abrahamic religions (that is, Judaism, Christianity and Islam). Simply put, it is unclear how one could use human-made language, to talk meaningfully about something infinitely powerful, infinitely knowledgeable and infinitely loving. This problem is worrisome to believers as it has the potential to undermine their traditions; if we cannot speak meaningfully about God, then the texts and teachings of Abrahamic faiths can only be deemed unintelligible (i.e. impossible to understand). In his Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion, the 18th Century Scottish philosopher David Hume alluded to the problem as follows: “But when we look beyond human affairs… when we carry our speculations into the two eternities, before and after the present state of things; into the creations and formulation of the universe; the existence and properties of spirits; the powers and operations of one universal Spirit existing without beginning and without end; omnipotent, omniscient, immutable, infinite and incomprehensible: We must be far removed from the smallest tendency to scepticism not to be apprehensive, that we have here got quite the reach of our faculties.” In Part I we’re discussing ‘the via negativa’, in Part II, Thomas Aquinas and Ludwig Wittgenstein, in Part III, the verification and falsification principles, and in Part IV we’ll be engaging in some further analysis and discussion.

On David Hume’s Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion (1779). How would a scientifically minded person argue for the existence of God? In Hume’s dialogue, a character named Cleanthes argues from this point of view for God’s existence based on the complexity and order apparent in nature: It looks designed. But how good is that argument, and is it enough to prove an infinite God of the traditional sort? With guest Stephen West.

Há já algum tempo que queríamos falar de religião. Do impacto que a religião, ou a falta dela, tem na nossa sociedade. No quão intolerantes e preconceituosos por vezes somos por desconhecermos o que está do outro lado, e no ódio que esta falta de compreensão instiga. Mas, afinal o que é ser ateu, católico, judeu, muçulmano, budista ou hindu? Desvendemos os mistérios da fé, e de outras convicções, conheçamos as pessoas e as suas histórias. Com esta série queremos desconstruir mitos e saber mais sobre o que cada um acredita. Neste primeiro episódio conversámos sobre ateísmo com o Ricardo Araújo Pereira. Falámos de forma surpreendentemente séria sobre Deus, do mal associado à religião, da noção de culpa e pecado, do medo da morte, da relação do humor com a religião, e muito mais.

http://archive.org/download/sophiaexnihilo/dialoguesConcerningNaturalReligion%20Part%20I%20ByDavidHume%20-SophiaExNihilo-01-21-14.mp3 The panel discusses epistemology and divine simplicity as presented in David Hume’s “Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion.”

Does the apparent design in the natural world point to the existence of an omnipotent, omniscient and benevolent God? In his posthumous Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion, perhaps his finest work, David Hume put some devastating criticisms of the Design Argument in the mouths of his characters. Listen to Nigel Warburton reading this summary of the book.
