fridakjellsson 's review for:
Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion
by David Hume
As I’m not religious myself, I found this book very interesting and eye-opening. Because, when you are not a believer yourself it is sometimes hard to see things from a religious point of view, and I, who always want to see the other side of things, have found it frustrating not understanding and completely comprehending the way a religious person reasons and perceives the world. That’s why this was such an important read for me.
I later had discussions with both my boyfriend and grandma about their beliefs. The interesting part was that I didn’t recite the perspectives discussed in the book. I felt a somewhat fundamental understanding and was not as clouded by my own opinion on the matter.
When learning about religion and philosophy, this is without a doubt one of the most essential reads. It is flawed and presents arguments that nowadays might seem outdated and vague, but that’s the beauty of it. This is perceived as a stepping stone in religious philosophy and is where a lot of modern-day arguments have their roots. Some of my personal questions and reasonings, I didn't find an answer to while reading, but I know I wouldn’t have had those questions and reasonings if I hadn’t read this.
It’s a slow read, but it’s worth it.
