Pamphilus is a young man apprenticed to the philosopher Cleanthes. He's present during a series of debates between his master, Philo, and Demea concerning the existence and nature of God. He relates the discourse to his friend Hermippus.Concerning the existence of God, all three philosophers seem to agree in favor, although they debate at length. Each arrives at their conclusion in favor of the existence of God by different methods, which is the cause for debate. Through their discourse Hume presents several arguments or issues which are often contested among philosophers. These arguments include the natural order of the universe and its consequences, the balance of suffering and goodness in the universe, and the qualifications of the human mind to arrive at conclusions about God.Each of the men presents his point of view. Cleanthes, as an experimental theist, believes in the existence of God based upon the order of the natural universe. In his view, all the complexity of existence points to an intelligent design and an undeniable proponent force throughout all the universe. Philo opposes Cleanthes' teleological approach to theology because he cannot accept the human mind's ability to discern such things. He argues that nothing can truly be known by such an imperfect, biased mind. In order to truly understand the nature of God, Philo believes a person must exist outside of the universe because only then would he or she have an accurate perspective in order to clearly interpret matters. Here Demea, who up to this point had agreed with Philo, accuses Philo of "accepting an extreme form of skepticism." He proposes a division between faith and reason, preferring faith as the more important. To Demea, fidelity to God is paramount even to understanding him. He argues from a priori reasoning, meaning in this context pertaining to the existence of the universe. If we exist, then we must choose loyalty to God above all else.In the end, Pamphilus seems to think Cleanthes wins the argument. His verdict is somewhat suspect, however, because of his apprenticeship to the man. According to the presentation of the arguments by Hume, it seems far more likely that Philo is the favored one. In Hume's own opinion, Philo comes the closest to winning the debate.

Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion is a philosophical work by the Scottish philosopher David Hume. Through dialogue, three philosophers named Demea, Philo, and Cleanthes debate the nature of God's existence. Whether or not these names reference specific philosophers, ancient or otherwise, remains a topic of scholarly dispute. While all three agree that a god exists, they differ sharply in opinion on God's nature or attributes and how, or if, humankind can come to knowledge of a deity. In the Dialogues, Hume's characters debate a number of arguments for the existence of God, and arguments whose proponents believe through which we may come to know the nature of God. Such topics debated include the argument from design--for which Hume uses a house--and whether there is more suffering or good in the world (argument from evil). Hume started writing the Dialogues in 1750 but did not complete them until 1776, shortly before his death. They are based partly on Cicero's De Natura Deorum. The Dialogues were published posthumously in 1779, originally with neither the author's nor the publisher's name. Pamphilus is a youth present during the dialogues. In a letter, he reconstructs the conversation of Demea, Philo, and Cleanthes in detail for his friend Hermippus. He serves as the narrator throughout the piece. At the end of the Dialogues he believes that Cleanthes offered the strongest arguments. However, this could be out of loyalty to his teacher, as this does not seem to reflect Hume's own views on the topic. When other pieces on religion by Hume are taken into consideration, it may be noted that they all end with (apparently) ironic statements reaffirming the truth of Christian religious views. While the irony may be less readily evident in the Dialogues, this would suggest a similar reading of this work's ending.[2] Cicero used a similar technique in his Dialogues. Cleanthes is an "experimental theist"--"an exponent of orthodox empiricism"[3]--who bases his beliefs about God's existence and nature upon a version of the teleological argument, which uses evidence of design in the universe to argue for God's existence and resemblance to the human mind. Philo, according to the predominant view among scholars, is the character who presents views most similar to those of Hume.[4] Philo, along with Demea, attacks Cleanthes' views on anthropomorphism and teleology; while not going as far as to deny the existence of God, Philo asserts that human reason is wholly inadequate to make any assumptions about the divine, whether through a priori reasoning or observation of nature. Demea "defends the Cosmological argument and philosophical theism..." He believes that the existence of God should be proven through a priori reasoning and that our beliefs about the nature of God should be based upon revelation and fideism. Demea rejects Cleanthes' "natural religion" for being too anthropomorphic. Demea objects to the abandonment of the a priori arguments by Philo and Cleanthes (both of whom are empiricists) and perceives Philo to be "accepting an extreme form of skepticism.
