Opinion of David Hume

David Hume was a very influential philosopher of the time, known as the first great philosopher to carve out a thoroughly naturalistic philosophy. He believed strongly in and is credited with the creation of cause and effect. He believed strongly that the world was as we represent it, and there was little to no influence from any supernatural being. For this reason, Hume probably had a negative outlook on England at the time. In England, religion was quite widespread, and belief in god was everywhere. Whether it be through Catholicism or Anglicanism, God played a great role in the lives of everyone. Hume did not approve of the incredible role of a supernatural in lives of the English, he believed that everything in the world had a cause and everything could be proven. The work of God disproves his theory.
