Spectres of False Divinity

Hume's Moral Atheism

Beschreibung

Thomas Holden presents a historical and critical interpretation of Hume's rejection of the existence of a deity with moral attributes. Hume's 'moral atheism' is a central plank both of his naturalistic agenda in metaphysics and his secularizing program in moral theory. It threatens to rule out any religion that would make claims on moral practice.
