Can Hume Get A Witness? – Ep.314 – Miracles – Hume and the Philosophic Questions – Part 3

Can Hume Get A Witness? Looking at David Hume's philosophy on miracles, now we find ourselves not seeing Hume interact with miracle claims, but questioning if someone can even be a witness to a miracle. Can Hume get a witness? It seems his standard is both circular and redefining of key terms. We see that taking Hume at his standard not only allows for no inductive evidence to come in but leads to some repercussions in daily life that would destroy most of our knowledge. So, ya know, the small things.
