The Secret Connexion: Causation, Realism, and David Hume
Strawson, GalenAuthor
In this revised edition of 'The Secret Connexion', Galen Strawson explores one of the most discussed subjects in philosophy: David Hume's work on causation. He argues that Hume believes in causal influence, but insists that we cannot know its nature. The regularity theory of causation is indefensible, and Hume never adopted it in any case.
