H. O. Mounce Hume Studies, Volume 28, Number 2, November 2002, pp. 309-313 (Review) Published by Hume Society For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/385868/summary Access provided at 17 Feb 2020 18:19 GMT from JHU Libraries Hume Studies Volume 28, Number 2, November 2002, pp. 309-313 Book Reviews DAVID O'CONNOR. Hume on Religion. London: Routledge, 2001, Pp. xvi + 227. ISBN 0415201942, cloth, $75.00; ISBN 0415201950, paper, $15.95. This book is a commentary on the Dialogues concerning Natural Religion, Hume's most famous work in the field of religion. O'Connor is a fine exposi- tor, commanding a clear and readable style. The Dialogues is covered in detail, so that students will gain a good sense of the structure. The weakness lies in O'Connor's attitude as it inevitably appears in his exposition. I do not mean that this is wild or eccentric. Quite the contrary, it is the one which during the last fifty years has become conventional, reflecting the empiricist tradition one associates with Ayer and Flew. For example, O'Connor hardly questions Hume's distinction between the apriori and the a posteriori, implies indeed that he puts it to devastating use, though it is now widely criticized even by philosophers otherwise
