David Hume on the Existence of Miracles

In this article we will discuss the discussion on human understanding by David Hume (1711-1776), Section X, discussion on miracles, and whether it is reasonable to assume the existence of a miracle. I will first discuss why the existence of miracles is important and how miracles are related to understanding the laws of nature. Next, I will see how Hume believes that believing miracles is unreasonable. Then I will dispute this argument. I believe that not only is reasonable but also a necessary condition for a loyal life.

Scottish philosopher David Hume of the 18th century considered these problems very carefully. He defined the miracle as "a violation of the law of nature".

Therefore, they are the best "proof of a miracle". Therefore, Hume wrote in "Survey on Human Understanding" (1748). "There is not enough evidence to prove a miracle unless the testimony is such an obvious result (and this is the general maxim that deserves our attention)." . In good faith, that lie seems more magical than the fact that it seeks to establish; even in this case the discussion is mutually destructive, and the boss guarantees that level of power after subtracting disadvantage to us It only gives.

David Hume always answered negatively when asked if reasonably believed that other people 's testimony miraculously happened. This article will discuss why Hume believes that it is unreasonable to believe that the miracle will occur based on the testimony of others. Then I will discuss and support the use of circumstances surrounding testimony and testimony to believe in miracle reasons. "Miracles are to violate the laws of nature and the evidence of miracles is as complete as the arguments in experience, due to the firm and unchanging experience of the enactment of these laws from the nature of the facts. "(710) Since the reliability of the natural law and the reliability of the human testimony are neither an ideology relationship nor a 100% affirmation, Hume believes that it is unreasonable to believe that a miracle will occur based on the testimony of others I am in
