[HUME (David).] &
CAMPBELL (George).
A Dissertation on Miracles: containing An Examination of the Principles advanced by David Hume, Esq; in an Essay on Miracles.
A defence of the provability of miracles by the Scottish Enlightenment philosopher and Christian apologist George Campbell (1719-1796), written in response to David Hume’s ‘Essay on Miracles’ (1748), which Campbell described as “one of the most dangerous attacks that have been made on our religion” (pp. v-vi).
“Hume had been shown the manuscript and raised some objections. Campbell softened the offending passages and earned the respect of his adversary. Letters from Hume to Campbell and from Reid to Hume record their mutual regard, even though they were in profound disagreement upon almost every point of philosophy” (Dictionary of Eighteenth-Century British Philosophers, Thoemmes Press, 1999).
