Of Miracles
"Of Miracles" is the title of Section X of David Hume's ''An Enquiry concerning Human Understanding'' (1748).
==Origins and text==
In the 19th-century edition of Hume's ''Enquiry'' (in Sir John Lubbock's series, "One Hundred Books"), sections X and XI were omitted, appearing in an Appendix with the misleading explanation that they were normally left out of popular editions.〔Antony Flew, introduction to ''Of Miracles'', p.3〕 Although the two sections appear in the full text in modern editions, chapter X has also been published separately, both as a separate book and in collections.
In Hume's December 1737 letter to Henry Home, in addition to describing how he went about "castrating" his ''Treatise'' so as to "give as little offence" to the religious, he had considered publishing the argument against miracles—as well as other anti-theistic arguments—as part of the ''Treatise'', but decided against it so as to not offend the religious sensibilities of readers.〔John P. Wright, "The ''Treatise'': Composition, Reception, and Response" ch. 1 in ''The Blackwell Guide to Hume's Treatise'' ed. Saul Traiger, 2006, ISBN 9781405115094, p. 5–6.〕
