Episode 167: Hume on Intelligent Design (Philosophize This! Crossover) (Part One)

The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast - Ein Podcast von Mark Linsenmayer, Wes Alwan, Seth Paskin, Dylan Casey

On David Hume’s Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion (1779). How would a scientifically minded person argue for the existence of God? In Hume’s dialogue, a character named Cleanthes argues from this point of view for God’s existence based on the complexity and order apparent in nature: It looks designed. But how good is that argument, and is it enough to prove an infinite God of the traditional sort? With guest Stephen West. Please support PEL!
