Causation and Causality: Two Mirrors of a Cause
by S. K. Leung
Category: Philosophy

With David Hume's profound philosophical doubts on causation at the background, this book attempts to answer many difficult questions. The author ridicules Spinoza's idea of causation in the form of Given a cause, its effect will follow as of necessity. Here the author introduces the notion of epistemological priority and temporal continuum to explain the ordinary conception of causation in connection with space and time. This bold analysis of causation is seen as an answer to Hume. Causation and causality are but epistemological reality that does not alter the metaphysical reality of nature itself.
