The Bad Effects Of Hume’s Philosophy

The bad effects of Hume’s philosophy might not seem apparent on the surface; people have been disagreeing about miracles even as they happen.

And while his support for his movement crumbled while failing to uphold its own standard, it led to religious studies being devalued and it helped in the lead up to liberalism in Christianity.
