Yes
Hume's greatest philosophical works are A TREATISE OF HUMAN NATURE and AN ENQUIRY CONCERNING HUMAN UNDERSTANDING. Neither is a dialogue. Of course, his DIALOGUES CONCERNING NATURAL RELIGION was a dialogue. It is a work about natural, as opposed to revealed, religion. Its major part is an analysis of the argument from design. Hume argues that, based on our experience of causal relations, we can gain no rational or probable insight into the cause of the world. Hume worked over the DIALOGUES very carefully over a period of twenty-five years. Scholars do not know which, if any, character in the DIALOGUES spoke for Hume's own view or why he wrote in dialogue form on this topic. Hume argued that we are forced to have all kinds of scientific, religious, and philosophic views about the world without having adequate justification for them. Some scholars think that Hume himself accepted fideism and employed skeptical arguments against certain religious beliefs designed to pave the way to accepting revealed truth. Another explanation is that he was himself genuinely puzzled and wrote the DIALOGUES to stimulate others to think for themselves.
