In this essay, I hope to show that some of the criticisms levelled against Hume, especially those by Robert Hambourger (1980), are not effective in their attempts to erode Humes argument. These issues were discussed in an article by Dorothy Coleman (1988), which I will use to outline the problems with Hambourgers arguments.
Firstly, I will give an interpretation of Humes definition of a miracle, as discussed in his Enquiries Concerning Human the Understanding (Selby-Bigge ed, 1975).
