| Résumé: | Hume claims that his argument against miracles applies without any variation' to prophecies. While Hume's argument against miracles has been thoroughly examined in the philosophical literature, his claim that this argument works against prophecies has been left relatively unexplored. In this article I examine Hume's conception of prophecy' and I argue that it is flawed. I also argue, however, that Hume's argument against miracles does indeed apply to prophecies, but only if we amend Hume's conception of prophecy'. I articulate and defend such an amendment. |
