Hume's Abject Failure: The Argument Against Miracles
Earman, John (Professor of the History and Philosophy of Science, Professor of the History and Philosophy of Science, University of Pittsburgh)
Situating Hume's famous work "Of Miracles" in the context of the 18th century debate on miracles, this book shows that it is largely unoriginal. It also discusses the issues of eyewitness testimony to establish the credibility of marvelous and miraculous events. It aims to contribute to the history of ideas, the philosophy of religion, and more.
