What Do You Think?
David Hume argued that there are "four possible hypotheses concerning the first causes of the universe."
1) That they are endowed with perfect goodness;
2) That they have perfect malice;
3) That they are opposite containing both goodness and malice;
4) That they have neither goodness nor malice. [Dialogues, XI]
Which one do you think is preferable when you look at the world, and why?
