Hume on miracles -- pt. 2. The documents. 330 $aThis vital study offers a new interpretation of Hume's famous Of Miracles, which notoriously argues against the possibility of miracles. By situating Hume's popular argument in the context of the eighteenth-century debate on miracles, Earman shows Hume's argument to be largely unoriginal andchiefly without merit where it is original. Yet Earman constructively conceives how progress can be made on the issues that Hume's essay so provocatively posed about the ability of eyewitness testimony to establish the credibility of marvelous and miraculous events. 606 $aMiracles 615 0$aMiracles. 676 $a212 700 $aEarman$b John$052075 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910953591803321 996 $aHume's abject failure$94464643 997 $aUNINA
