A Defense of Hume on Miracles by Robert J Fogelin
Since its publication in the mid 18th century, Hume's discussion of miracles has been the target of severe and often ill-tempered attacks. In this book, Robert Fogelin offers a systematic response to these attacks.
What a joy to read a philosophy book that is graceful, clear, and short.. Fogelin writes with the simplicity and immediacy of a distinguished mind... [I]mpressively conceived and executed. -- Mark Sainsbury Times Literary Supplement This book provides a subtle reading of Hume; it is both engaging and well argued; and, it makes a useful addition to the recent literature concerning both Hume's argument and testimony in general. -- Dan O'Brien Philosophy in Review
Robert J. Fogelin is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy and the Sherman Fairchild Professor in the Humanities at Dartmouth College. His previous books include "Wittgenstein, Hume's Skepticism", and "Pyrrhonian Reflections on Knowledge and Justification".
