This is a systematic confutation of David Humes's "Essay on miracles", first published in 1748 in his "Philosophical essays concerning human understanding". Gräffe uses Kant's recently published work "Die Religion innerhalb der Grenzen der blossen Vernunft" (Religion within the bounds of mere reason), in support of his dismissal of Hume's arguments. He takes criticism of Hume's essay further than that of "circularity of arguments" advanced by George Campbell in his "Dissertation of miracles" (1762), to demonstrate that the laws governing the effecting of miracles do not suspend or infringe upon the laws of nature.
Includes bibliographical references.
