What follows, therefore, is what the present editors did about it. The central purpose is to open to Hume’s original target audience his writings on religious affairs; a subject which was of central importance to him – and which remains of perennial interest to humankind. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-sleek-node-id=\"sGg9YY\"\u003e\u003cem data-sleek-node-id=\"nP32Mt\"\u003eApportion Belief to the Evidence! \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong data-sleek-node-id=\"MnDEX2\"\u003eDAVID HUME\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-sleek-node-id=\"60Ajom\"\u003eDavid Hume’s writings on history, politics and philosophy have shaped thought to this day. His bold scepticism ranged from common notions of the ‘self’ to criticism of standard theistic proofs. He insisted on grounding understandings of popular religious beliefs in human psychology rather than divine revelation, and he aimed to disentangle philosophy from religion in order to allow the former to pursue its own ends. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-sleek-node-id=\"gH8gQ7\"\u003eIn this book, Professors David W Purdie and Peter S Fosl decipher some of Hume’s most challenging texts for the modern reader, while preserving the sharp intellect and undaunted nerve for which Hume is famous. Hume’s spirit is brought alive for contemporary times and his writing is made accessible for its intended audience: the general public. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-sleek-node-id=\"x3bvDT\"\u003e\u003cem data-sleek-node-id=\"MFaPud\"\u003eThe greatest philosopher ever to write in the English language. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong data-sleek-node-id=\"NvuPL3\"\u003eBERTRAND RUSSELL\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003c!-- Why You'll Love This Ebook --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love This Ebook\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeep dive into Hume's revolutionary thinking on God and belief.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhilosophical argument that still challenges today.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished by Luath Press, Scotland's leading independent publisher.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA gateway to understanding enlightenment philosophy.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003c!-- About the Author --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" data-sleek-node-id=\"AHZX5A\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-sleek-node-id=\"Sikl5i\"\u003eDAVID W PURDIE was born privately in Prestwick and educated publicly at Ayr Academy and Glasgow University.
