The Secret Connexion: Causation, Realism, and David Hume

Focusing on David Hume's theories, this revised edition delves into the complexities of causation, arguing that Hume acknowledges causal influence while asserting its unknowable nature. Galen Strawson critiques the regularity theory of causation, deeming it indefensible and clarifying that Hume did not endorse it. This exploration offers a fresh perspective on Hume's philosophical contributions, challenging established interpretations and inviting readers to reconsider the foundations of causation in philosophy.
