Hamann was about to publish a translation of the Dialogues on Natural Religion into German. Along the reading of this book we can question the traditional view which sees Hume as a complete sceptical. At least, Hamann finds in Hume�s epistemology the resource that clears up the limits of knowledge but at the same time praises the power of our nature to solve that problem. Those limits are too high to be overcome, so we have no choice but to implement blind confidence and beliefs daily in order to fill in the gaps left by the limits of our reason. This is in the end a choice of religion to regain credibility through faith just when Illustration had blocked the way to superstition and tradition. In Hamann�s view, we must even admit that critical reason is its own worst enemy because its yearning for certainty leads reason to depend on beliefs
