Toward a Humean True Religion

Toward a Humean True Religion, Volume 1, challenges the common perception of David Hume as a purely antireligious thinker. While Hume is often categorized as an infidel and a critic of the Christian faith, Andre C Willis argues that his approach to faith was more complex. This work of philosophy and religious criticism examines how Hume existed during a transitional period where old concepts of faith were being replaced by modern, speculative claims.

Willis explores the historical and discursive forces that shaped Hume's views, moving beyond the idea of personal animus. By analyzing Hume's mild philosophic theism, moral rationalism, and project on the passions, this literary criticism volume proposes a third way between classical and modern religion. Toward a Humean True Religion provides a scholarly re-evaluation of what a true religion would look like through a Humean lens.
