4 0

David Hume’s various writings concerning problems of religion are among the most important and influential contributions on this topic. In these writings Hume advances a systematic, sceptical critique of the philosophical foundations of various theological systems. Whatever interpretation one takes of Hume’s philosophy as a whole, it is certainly true that one of his most basic philosophical objectives is to discredit the doctrines and dogmas of traditional theistic belief. There are, however, some significant points of disagreement about the exact nature and extent of Hume’s irreligious intentions. One of the most important of these is whether Hume’s sceptical position leads him to a view that can be properly characterized as “atheism”.

The primary aims of this article are: (1) to give an account of Hume’s main arguments as they touch on various particular issues relating to religion; and (2) to answer to the question concerning the general character of Hume’s commitments on this subject.

1. Religious Philosophers and Speculative Atheists

2. Empiricism, Scepticism and the Very Idea of God

3. The Cosmological Argument and God’s Necessary-Existence

4. The Argument from Design

5. The Problem of Evil

6. Miracles

7. Immortality and a Future State

8. Hume’s Genealogy of Religion: Causes and Dynamics of Religious Belief

9. Religion and Morality

10. Was Hume an Atheist?

11. Irreligion and the Unity of Hume’s Philosophy

Night: Section 4
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

1. Elie's first impression of the camp at Buna is that it is very dead and empty. He sees prisoners and they tell him that it is not a bad of a camp as Auschwitz. Looked as if ad been through an epidemic, but the inmates had agreed that it was a good camp and they could hold their own. Settled into 'Kommandos' which were groups of prisoners.

2. The dentist is looking for gold teeth in the prisoner's mouths, and those who had it, like Elie had a gold crown, were listed by number.

3. Elie tells the dentist that he does not feel well and that he has a fever, and asks the dentist to wait a few days before he takes out Elie's gold crown.

4. Elie's stomach is aware of the passage of time because there is little food and he is surviving on very little. His stomach was always empty, and always growling.

5. Idek beats Elie's father because he was on edge, and when he exploded, his victim was Elie's father, yelling at him about how he was not working. Elie's first reaction to the beating was watching and not moving. Elie did not move, and he kept silent, and he even thought of moving away so he would not be hit. He then began to feel anger toward his father, questioning why he couldn't dodge Idek's anger. Whenever Idek was angry he just looked for someone to beat on and look for someone to hurt, and Elie's father just happened to be in his way this time. Idek can turn on violence and turn it off very abruptly. No one knows what his fury was about. It could have been about what he had to do, or something else.

6. When Idek sees Elie out of his place and not working, he decided to whip him. He whips him 25 times, before threatening to do it five times more of he told anyone what he saw.

7. The Americans bomb the camp at Buna with planes, lasting for over an hour.

8. The pipel was hanged because they had found him to be possessing weapons that he was not aloud to have and they had condemned him to die.

9. The young boy was known as a sad angel, a small smile in many frowns, and was loved by many.

10. The pipel was a very young boy, so when he was hanged he was too light, and did not die for about another half hour, he just struggled in the noose. So the prisoners all had to look him in the face and not help him.
