A Dissertation on Miracles (Classic Reprint): Containing an Examination of the Principles Advanced by David Hume, Esq., In an Essay on Miracles: ... in an Essay on Miracles (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Sinossi
This book delves into a heated philosophical debate that raged in the 18th century: the nature of miracles and their role in supporting religious faith. The author takes aim at the influential philosopher David Hume, whose famous essay on miracles argued that such events, especially those claimed to support religious systems, are inherently unbelievable. The book aims to show, through detailed arguments, that Hume's position is flawed and rests on a faulty understanding of how we reason about the world. The author takes on Hume's specific claims, including the idea that experience alone guides our belief in testimony. The book explores the powerful, natural influence of testimony on our beliefs, a foundation that exists prior to any conscious experience. The author also critiques Hume's use of a metaphorical "balance" to assess evidence, demonstrating that such a simplistic approach fails to adequately capture the complexities of reasoning. This book presents a compelling counterargument to Hume's influential thesis, offering a more nuanced understanding of how we come to believe in miracles and providing a powerful defense of the role of reason and testimony in religious faith.
