| Twenty Questions about Hume’s “Of Miracles” | |
| Συγγραφέας: Peter Millican Peter Millican: Twenty Questions about Hume’s “Of Miracles” (pdf, 32 pages) Hume‟s  essay  on  the  credibility  of  miracle  reports  has  always  been  controversial,1  with  much debate over how it should be interpreted, let alone assessed.  My aim here is to summarise what I take  to  be  the  most  plausible  views  on  these  issues,  both  interpretative  and  philosophical,  with references to  facilitate deeper investigation if desired.   The paper is  divided into small sections, each headed by a question that provides a focus.  Broadly speaking, §§1-3 and §20 are on Hume‟s general philosophical framework within which the essay is situated, §§4-11 and §19 are on Part 1, §12-18 are on Part 2, and the final three sections §§18-20 sum up my assessment of his arguments. | |
