Six talks on David Hume
3: Hume's Analysis of Causation by Geoffrey Warnock
Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford Hume is right in establishing that empirical propositions cannot be logically necessary, but wrong in holding that there is never any reason why a particular effect should be produced by a particular cause. Mr. Warnock discusses some of the presuppositions of intelligible causation.
