David HumeCausality is a fiction, an idea which finds no support in experience or in rationality. So our mind must add the idea which arises from our own subjective habits of thinking that he calls 'customary conjunction'.
Causality is a mere product of the rational mind, a result of the epistemological method, and therefore lacks ontological support.
Causality is a regular succession of event-types: One thing invariably following another.
Causality is no more than a relation between ideas. It is not an a priori relation, but arises entirely from experience, when we find that any particular objects are constantly conjoined with each other.
Causality is an object precedent and contiguous to another, and where all the objects resembling the former are placed in like relations of precedence and contiguity to those objects, that resemble the latter.
Causality is based on a habit of the mind arising from repeated experience of a regular succession of events, which enables it to establish connections, or associations, between ideas.
Causality is the only relation that can be traced beyond our senses. It informs us of existences and objects, which we do not see or feel.
Causality is nothing more than expectation based on custom and habit rather than reason.
Empiricism is the idea that all the materials of thinking are derived either from our outward or inward sentiment: The mixture and composition of these belongs alone to the mind and will..
Empiricism is the view that all our knowledge about matters of fact (things which are not required by logical necessity) is derived from experience.
God is immanent in the world as its structuring force and not transcendent to it as a designer.
God is malevolent if he is unwilling to prevent evil. If he is unable to prevent it, then he is not omnipotent. If he is neither willing nor able to prevent evil, then he is hardly a God in the first place.
Human nature is the only science of man... and yet has been hitherto the most neglected.
