Résumé du colloque

It is largely acknowledged that Hume's "Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion" are in a good measure inspired on Cicero's "De Natura Deorum", a sceptical examination of stoic and epicurean theologies. But seldom they are compared with Montaigne's "Apology to Raymond Sebond", another skeptical oriented text, which offers striking similar sayings to those we find in Hume (and which is, moreover, composed with aid of the same Cicero dialogue). Could these ressemblances aid us to solve any of the interpretative enigmas of Hume's "Dialogues"? This is the question we aim to discuss.
