The Everlasting Check: Hume on Miracles
Cambridge, Massachusetts: Harvard University Press (2016)
Abstract
Alexander George’s lucid interpretation of Hume’s “Of Miracles” provides fresh insights into this provocative text, explaining the concepts and claims involved. He also shows why Hume’s argument fails to engage with committed religious thought and why philosophical argumentation so often proves ineffective in shaking people’s deeply held beliefs.Author's Profile
