David Hume on Causality

Abstract: A 5 page paper that describes Hume's argument against causality and argues that Hume's contentions as to the limited nature of causality are unfounded. Hume argues that existing knowledge, created from the habitual activities of man, is the only way to perceive an object. Kant, among other philosophers, have disagreed with Hume's belief, noting that objects are based within the context of other objects and causality is a necessary and reasonable assertion. Two primary sources cited.
