Plato's Beard (16-2)

Today we discussed Rorty, Leibniz, Berkeley, Voltaire and Locke. In discussion, almost the entire group thought Berkeley was a little extreme in his philosophy. We're also starting to gather factual questions for the next exam.

    DQ; Do you think that Hume's method of attack on religion (implying that he was a believer in the first paragraph and then filling in his argument) was right or effective?

      I don't believe so, because by forcing them to be free, they have the free will to choose to stay. You can force someone against their will, but you can't force them into freedom. At least that's how I see it.
