As soon as their attempts to ‘square' moral properties with natural properties appear to be in trouble, such philosophers resort to the line that the ...

Mackie's treatment of miracles
International Journal for Philosophy of Religion, 1996La probabilite de l'existence d'un miracle depend de la probabilite de l'existence de Dieu. La probabilite d'un miracle donne a partir de temoignages depend egalement de la probabilite de l'existence de Dieu. Il apparait donc que l'acceptation rationnelle d'un miracle sur la base d'un temoignage dependra de la probabilite de l'existence de Dieu.

John Mackie is famous for defending an error theory about moral judgments. His main arguments for this controversial view are based on relativity and on queerness. He calls the argument from queerness “more important” and “more generally applicable” (1977, p. 38), and then he divides this argument into metaphysical and epistemological parts.

J. L. Mackie's posthumous book on the philosophy of religion, The Miracle of Theism, contains a number of detailed criticisms of versions of inductive arguments for the existence of God, contained in my own book The Existence of God. In this paper I argue that what I take to be the three main criticisms have no force.

His objection to the free will defence has been particularly influential. The free will defence maintains that all evil is due to the immoral, free choices made either by human beings or by other fallen ...
