Résumé
David Hume’s thesis on miracles, sustained in the X chapter of his first Enquiry, has been object of permanet interest. His detractors have maintained that Hume’s whole argument fails. After reconstructing the two arguments provided by Hume –a priori argument and a posteriori argument– we propose to set the distinction between miraclesn (extraordinary natural events) and miraclesr (extraordinary events with religious significance) to conclude that Hume’s argument justifies scepticism about the last ones. In short, Hume’s argument, far from claiming to prove the nonexistence of miracles as a factum within the natural order ultimately, is intended to demarcate the distinction between scientific beliefs and religious beliefs as two realms that must be considered separately. This differentiation has decisively contributed to shaping the separation between Science and Religion proper to contemporary secularized societies.
