Hume's essay "Of Miracles" has the reputation of providing, in Hume's own words, an "everlasting check" to accepting reports of miracles. Author Robert Larmer demonstrates that this reputation is undeserved. Taking seriously the environment in which "Of Miracles" was composed reveals that its arguments are neither original to Hume nor compelling. Both before and after the publication of "Of Miracles" these arguments received devastating criticisms by Hume's predecessors and contemporaries. Contemporary revisionary attempts to defend the argument by insisting that Hume cannot really have meant what he has traditionally been understood to claim are inevitably guilty of eisegesis and systematically ignoring crucial passages fatal to their idiosyncratic readings.
The clarity of Larmer's writing makes Hume's Counterfeit Check accessible both to professional academics and interested lay persons. Anyone interested in assessing the rationality of accepting testimonial evidencefor the occurrence of miracles should view this book as required reading.
"Hume's Counterfeit Check is the best book on the historical context and reception of Hume's argument on miracles in over fifty years - deeply informed and judicious yet written with a light touch that makes this material accessible to non-specialist readers. I wish I had written it myself."
-Tim McGrew, Professor and Chair of Philosophy, Western Michigan University

"In Hume's Counterfeit Check, Robert Larmer carefully reconstructs Hume's argument against belief in miracles, and forcefully criticizes that argument. The historical scholarship is thorough; its criticisms are sharp. This book is essential reading for any serious scholar of the time, indeed for anyone interested in the relevance of Hume's criticism." -Nathan Rockwood, Associate Professor, Department of Philosophy, Brigham Young University
