Speaker: Timothy McGrew (Western Michigan University) Title: ‘The Formal Epistemology of Testimony: Beyond Hume and Earman’ Date: 23 August 2019 Location: Schloss Fürstenried, Munich, Germany This talk was part of the conference "Free Will and Divine Action", 21-23 August 2019, organized by the International Academy of Philosophy in the Principality of Liechtenstein (IAP). For more information, please see www.iap.li Abstract: Recent work on the epistemology of testimony concerning miracles has focused on the cogency of the Babbage/Holder/Earman critique of Hume’s famous argument in his essay “Of Miracles.” Working within a Bayesian framework, this paper extends that discussion in three directions: it argues that the standard Humean reason for assigning a low prior probability to a miracle is untenable, it points out an unresolved issue with Arif Ahmed’s criticism of the Babbage/Holder/Earman argument, and it places the question of testimonial evidence in a wider context of richer evidential considerations.
