An Essay In Answer To Mr. Hume�������s Essay On Miracles is a philosophical work written by William Adams in 1767. The book is a response to David Hume's essay on miracles, which argued that miracles are inherently improbable and therefore cannot be accepted as evidence for the existence of God. Adams, a Christian theologian, argues against Hume's skepticism and defends the possibility of miracles. He asserts that miracles are not contrary to the laws of nature but rather are events that occur through the agency of a higher power. Adams also critiques Hume's understanding of causation, arguing that Hume's definition of causation is too narrow and fails to account for supernatural causes.The book is divided into five chapters, each of which addresses a different aspect of Hume's argument. Adams draws on a range of philosophical and theological sources to support his arguments, including the works of Thomas Aquinas and John Locke. Overall, An Essay In Answer To Mr. Hume�������s Essay On Miracles is a significant contribution to the ongoing philosophical debate about the existence of miracles and their role in religious belief.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
