Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion by David Hume
This philosophical work is a series of discussions between three characters who explore the nature of God's existence through the lens of empirical evidence and reason. The dialogues delve into arguments for and against the existence of a divine creator, touching on the problem of evil, the argument from design, and the limits of human understanding. Through these conversations, the text critically examines the rational basis for religious belief, questioning the traditional arguments for God's existence and highlighting the complexities and contradictions inherent in theological explanations of the universe. The work is a seminal contribution to the philosophy of religion, showcasing the author's skepticism towards religious dogma and his commitment to empirical inquiry.
