David Hume's Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion had not yet been published when he died in 1776. Even though the manuscript was mostly written during the 1750s, it did not appear until 1779. The subject itself was too delicate and controversial, and Hume's dialectical examination of religious knowledge was especially provocative. What should we teach young people about religion? The characters Demea, Cleanthes, and Philo passionately present and defend three sharply different answers to that question.

A little too loose, & poorly divided
Revisado: 07-16-17
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Great book, not the best reading of it for philosophic purposes. A simple problem: chapters are divided into 2-3 minute segments. I can't figure out what principle is used--it's not at every change in speaker. But it certainly is not divided into the chapters Hume divided the text into--frustrating when I want to find the corresponding passage in my book & mark it & consider it. A more egregious problem: the narrator ADDS things. This ranges from sighs, chuckles, and grunts to the occasional "oh!", "indeed" or "thank you." It's distracting when I know these additions are not there, and it's downright frustrating when I don't know whether what is being said is from Hume's pen or the narrator's mind.
Would you be willing to try another one of Ray Childs’s performances?
No! I hate to see what he does with Plato, where the little details are even more important, and might be more easily confused for lines of the actual dialogue.
