Complementary to Theism and Cosmology, this book begins with a discussion of philosophical and theological idea-ism, and our common beliefs concerning nature, man, and God. It is principally concerned with idealism - the place of ideals in reality rather than with the place of ideas. It discusses personality, justice, value, morals and theism versus pantheism then ends with a discussion of the general relations between a cosmological theism and a theism whose primary interest is the conservation and the incarnation of what is good and fine.

Based on the original handwritten manuscript, this book provides a new, accurate edition of Hume s important work, faithful to his original text, marginal notes, and changes. Stanley Tweyman s comprehensive introduction gives an interpretation of the Dialogues as a whole, as well as close analysis of each of the work s twelve parts. Hume s views on evil are discussed in four previously published articles, and the volume concludes with an extensive bibliography. Originally published in 1991.
