【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】＜p＞Originally published in 1779, "Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion" is a philosophical work by the Scottish philosopher David Hume.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In "Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion" David Hume explores whether religious belief can be rational. Because Hume is an ＜em＞empiricist＜/em＞ (i.e. someone who thinks that all knowledge comes through experience), he thinks that a belief is rational only if it is sufficiently supported by experiential evidence. So the question is really, is there enough evidence in the world to allow us to infer an infinitely good, wise, powerful, perfect God? Hume does not ask whether we can rationally prove that God exists, but rather whether we can rationally come to any conclusions about God's nature. He asserts that the first question is beyond doubt; the latter is initially undecided.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Hume presents three characters, three philosophers named Demea, Philo, a...

His conclusionーthat all knowledge is derived from sense experienceーbecame the principal tenet of empiricism, which has dominated Western philosophy ever since. Even George Berkeley, who rejected Locke’s distinction between sense qualities independent of the mind and sense qualitiesdependent on the mind, produced his idealism in response to Locke’s provocative philosophy and gave it an empirical cast that reflected Western culture’s rejection of innate or transcendental knowledge.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら...

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】＜p＞Published in 1710, George Berkeley’s "A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge" presents a form of Metaphysical Idealism which asserts that there are two kinds of reality, idea and spirit. Ideas are real because they can be perceived. Spirit is real because it can have ideas,and because it can perceive them.＜br /＞ Berkeley argues that ideas are derived from physical and mental perceptions, from memory, and from imagination. The existence of an idea depends on its being able to be perceived. An idea does not exist unless it is perceived.＜br /＞ According to Berkeley, "＜em＞esse est percipi＜/em＞" ("to be is to be perceived"). The existence of an idea cannot be separated from its being perceived. If an idea or object is not perceived, then it does not exist.＜/p＞ ＜p＞George Berkeley, known as Bishop Berkeley (Bishop of Cloyne of the Anglican Church of Ireland), was an Angl...

The one considers man chiefly as born for action; and as influenced in his measures by taste and sentiment; pursuing one object, and avoiding another, according to the value which these objects seem to possess, and according to the light in which they present themselves.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】＜p＞Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion is a philosophical work by the Scottish philosopher David Hume. Through dialogue, three philosophers named Demea, Philo, and Cleanthes debate the nature of God's existence. Whether or not these names reference specific philosophers, ancient or otherwise, remains a topic of scholarly dispute. 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.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the Dialogues, Hume's characters debate a number of arguments for the existence ofGod, and arguments whose proponents believe through which we may come to know the nature of God. Such topics debated include the argument from designーfor which Hume uses a houseーand whether there is more suffering or good in the world (argument from evil).＜/p＞ ＜p＞Hume started writing the Dialogues in 1750 but did not complete them until 1776...

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】＜p＞DISPUTES with men, pertinaciously obstinate in their principles, are, of all others, the most irksome; except, perhaps, those with persons, entirely disingenuous, who really do not believe the opinions they defend, but engage in the controversy, from affectation, from a spirit of opposition, or from a desire of showing wit and ingenuity, superior to the rest of mankind. The same blind adherence to their own arguments is to be expected in both; the same contempt of their antagonists; and the same passionate vehemence, in inforcing sophistry and falsehood. And as reasoning is not the source, whence either disputant derives his tenets; it is in vain to expect, that any logic, which speaks not to the affections, will ever engage him to embrace sounder principles.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページから...

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】＜p＞An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding is a book by the Scottish empiricist philosopher David Hume, published in English in 1748. It was a revision of an earlier effort, Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature, published anonymously in London in 1739?40. Hume was disappointed with the reception of the Treatise, which "fell dead-born from the press," as he put it, and so tried again to disseminate his more developed ideas to the public by writing a shorter and more polemical work.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The end product of his labours was the Enquiry. The Enquiry dispensed with much of the material from the Treatise, in favor of clarifying and emphasizing its most important aspects. For example, Hume's views on personal identity do not appear. However, more vital propositions, such as Hume's argument for the role of habit in a theory of knowledge, are retained.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book has proven highly influential, both in the years...
