David Hume, Inquiry Concerning Human Understanding - Miracles, Testimony, And Nature

This lecture discusses key ideas from the modern empiricist philosopher David Hume' Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding

It focuses specifically on his views on whether miracles, as opposed to simply marvelous events, are possible, and whether testimonies about miracles make them probable or proven or not. Hume defines a miracle as a violation of the laws of nature.
