David Hume, Inquiry Concerning Human Understanding - Causes, Effects, And Divine Providence
This lecture discusses key ideas from the modern empiricist philosopher David Hume' Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding It focuses specifically on his discussion, framed in terms of arguments placed in the mouths of friend of his and of Epicurus, of claims about divine providence made by religious people. One of Hume's main lines of criticism is that when it comes the universe and the divine, we can reason from effects to causes, but not from causes to effects, given how little we know or can analogize about the divine as a cause.
