David Hume

Sinopsis

In "David Hume: On Religion," Hume delves into the intricate interplay between human belief systems and the philosophical underpinnings of religion. This work combines Hume's empiricist philosophy with a rigorous examination of religious phenomena, critically analyzing the nature of faith, superstition, and the arguments for the existence of God. Employing a clarity of prose that is characteristic of the Scottish Enlightenment, Hume invites readers to question established dogmas with a skeptical lens, thereby situating his discourse within the broader intellectual currents of rationalism and empiricism of the 18th century. David Hume, a pivotal figure in Western philosophy, profoundly influenced the realms of metaphysics, ethics, and epistemology, paving the way for modern philosophical inquiry. His own experiences, shaped by the vibrant philosophical debates of his time and his skepticism towards organized religion, fueled his exploration of the rational foundations—or lack thereof—of faith. Hume's reflections were transformative, challenging prevailing religious convictions and advancing the discourse on human understanding of the divine. "David Hume: On Religion" stands as an essential read for anyone seeking to grasp the foundations of modern secular thought. Hume's analytical approach not only fascinates scholars of philosophy and theology but also provokes thoughtful reflection for general readers questioning the complexities of belief and reason in today's world.

The Book of Grief and Hamburgers

Stuart Ross

Winner of the 2023 Trillium Book Award
		 
A poignant meditation on mortality from a beloved Canadian poet
		 
A writer friend once pointed out that whenever Stuart Ross got close to something heavy and “real” in a poem, a hamburger would inevitably appear for comic relief. In this hybrid essay/memoir/poetic meditation, Ross shoves aside the heaping plate of burgers to wrestle with what it means to grieve the people one loves and what it means to go on living in the face of an enormous accumulation of loss. Written during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, shortly after the sudden death of his brother left him the last living member of his family and as a catastrophic diagnosis meant anticipating the death of his closest friend, this meditation on mortality — a kind of literary shiva — is Ross’s most personal book to date. More than a catalogue of losses, The Book of Grief and Hamburgers is a moving act of resistance against self-annihilation and a desperate attempt to embrace all that was good in his relationships with those most dear to him.
