Hume on Miracles (Series Index)

Tweet

I have written a number of articles about Hume's famous essay 'Of Miracles' over the years. Most of these articles try to vindicate Hume's core insights and rebut some of his critics. I still believe that Hume's essay, for all its flaws and outdated linguistic quirks, contains a core of good sense and, for better or worse, provides the starting point for most philosophical debates about miracles. Here, I have gathered together all the relevant articles for those that are interested:

• Hume's Argument Against Miracles (Part One)

• Hume's Argument Against Miracles (Part Two)

• The Everlasting Check: Understanding Hume's Argument Against Miracles

• Hume, Miracles, and the Many Witnesses Objection

• Arif Ahmed's Case Against the Resurrection (included because the first argument is essentially a version of Hume's)

• Arguments to and from Miracles - Hume on Violation Miracles

• David Hume on the Credentials of Revelation
