An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding
| Author | David Hume |

| Author | John Paul II |
| ISBN | 0819826693 |
I found this to be a splendid example of the similarity between science and religion: both rest on faith statements and proceed by logical analysis. If you think science does not rest on faith statements, consider "Hume's Problem of Induction" and "Popperian Falsification."
