Description
Fogelin's defense of Hume on miracles is both engaging and illuminating. I recommend it highly to anyone interested in Hume or in the topic of testimonial evidence for miracles. -- Don Garrett, New York University We are very much in need of Fogelin's response to the recent abuse heaped on Hume's argument. His book is elegant without being imprecise, well argued without being overly complex, and a pleasure to read. -- David Owen, University of Arizona

Reviews
"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
