David Hume on Miracles, Evidence, and Probability

By William L Vanderburgh

Book Overview

Hume says we never have grounds to believe in miracles. He's right, but many commentators misunderstand his theory of probability and therefore his argument. This book shows that Humean probability descends from Roman law, and once properly contextualized historically and philosophically, Hume's argument survives the criticisms leveled against it.
