David Hume is widely thought to be Britain's greatest ever philosopher, and his writings on religion are as relevant today as they were in the eighteenth century. This volume gathers together these disparate writings into one handy volume. It includes both the 'Dialogues concerning Natural Religion' and 'The Natural History of Religion', the chapters on miracles and the argument from design from 'An Enquiry concerning Human Understanding', and two lesser-known but brilliant essays, 'On the Immortality of the Soul' and 'Of Superstition and Enthusiasm'. The volume also includes a substantial introductory essay by Julian Baggini, which explores the controversial question of whether Hume was an agnostic or an atheist.
