Hume's gift for irony matches that of his fellow historian Edward Gibbon, and like Gibbon he is most ready to display it when he writes about religion. Thus in his essay 'On the Immortality of the Soul', which we have seen that he refrained from publishing during his lifetime, he remarkss that 'Nothing could set in a fuller light the infinite obligations which mankind have to Divine revelation; since we find, that no other medium could ascertain this great and important truth'. More straightforwardlly, he concludes the chapter of the Enquiry in which he has shown that there cannot be an justification for a belief in miracles by asserting 'that the Christian Religion not only was first attended with miracles, but even to this day cannot be believed by any reasonable person without one. (Chap.2, "Aims and Methods") Hume is consistently hostile to Christianity, both on intellectual and on moral grounds. Thus in his essay "The Natural History of Religion', he quotes with approval the verdict of 'Averroes, the famous Arabian', 'that of all religions, the most absurd and nonsensical is that, whose votaries eat, after having created their deity' and adds for his own part 'that there is no tenet in all paganizm which would give so fair a scope to ridicule as that of the real prescence; for it is so absurd that it eludes the force of all argument.' (Chap.2, "Aims and Methods") For a start, there are the assumptions involved in characterizing anything as a physical object of an observable kind. It has to be accessible to more than one sense and to any suitably equipped observer. It has to be capable of existing unperceived. It has to occupy a position or series of positions in three-dimensional space and to persist throughout some period of time. (Chap.3, "Bodies and Selves") Hume accords the phenomenon of constancy the primary role in causing the imagination to transform impressions into enduring objects, but he does not think it sufficient on its own. It is adided in its work by what he calls coherence, of which he gives two examples. The first example is that of his returning to his room after an hour's absence to find that his fire is burning less brightly. Since he has frequently witnessed the process of his fire's dying down, his imagination fills in the gap. (Chap.3, "Bodies and Selves") | |
