In this paper, I argue that Locke’s subjectivist definition of a miracle is the result of confusing the epistemological question of how a miracle is recognized with the ontological question of what a miracle is. In his actual treatment of miracles, he employs an objectivist understanding of miracle.
“The considerations which led Locke to his subjectivist conception [of miracle] seem also to render it useless.”
