"This is pretty good. You can see the arguments for intelligent design laid out over a century ago. The language is kinda tough for the contemporary reader (I needed a philosophy class to really digest it), but the ideas are solid."
"It's sort of sad how Hume has already used & debunked (resp.) all arguments in favor of and against religion in this work (and a bit in his other works).. I have yet to encounter an argument used by contemporary "thinkers" in the public debate that is new (if you ignore the fact that some of the details have changed). Organized religion is a bore."
"I read this book for Cornel West's course on Hume & Kant during my last semester at Union Theological Seminary in New York. This and his Treatise of Human Nature are my favorite books by Hume, one of my favorite philosophers.
It struck me today whilst thinking back upon Hume that his critique of necessity in evidentiary cases of causality, the spark that set off Kant's revolution in philosophy, might be a salutory read for those, like Einstein, who've been troubled by developments in microphysics which have shattered some of the last vestiges of apodictic necessity in the physical sciences. What Hume noted was that there is no such thing as a law as regards our understandings of experience. As regards causal relations, the best we can hope for are more, rather than less, likely patterns, strong tendencies which may be relied on. Some, of course, approach the ideal of lawfulness such as the "laws" of Newtonian mechanics, but, as Kant noted, the ideal of perfect lawfulness in nature is something we impose upon it. Such necessity in the physical sciences is but "a regulative ideal of the Vernunft", something aimed at and aspired to, but never obtainable to finite beings like ourselves restricted, as we are, to our finite inductions from experiment and experience. This being acknowledged, the probability vectors of electrons, indeterminacy and the uncertainty principle, are not so hard to adjust to after all."
