More Course Texts Online
As you know each of the history sections of the course has a Major Unit and a Minor Unit. The Major Unit for the early modern section is Descartes’s Discourse. For the Minor Unit, which we’ll probably do the Tuesday after Thanksgiving break, we’ll be discussing David Hume’s Essay on Miracles. For this you’ll need to have read Hume’s essay and Lady Mary Shepherd’s response to it.
Hume’s essay is easy to find online: here, here, and here are just a few examples.
Shepherd’s is not so easy to find. I have it in hardcopy form; if you were unable to attend today, I’ll have copies on Tuesday.
