مفهوم السببية عند هيوم

Abstract

ABSTRACTThe principle of causal is important in the life and science and philosophy so, the philosophers and scientists interested on its analysis and Hume is one of important philosophers in that field whom studied this concept. Hume see that, any relationships must have something in order to be named by the relationship of cause and result, e.g. the relationship between A,B in order to be relationship of cause and result, it must contain three conditions: The contiguity relationship and the chronological precedence for cause and result and the necessary connection between the cause and the result. According to the Hume's opinion, the last relationship is one of the important relationships which means that it must have inherency of cause with the result (fire burn) so, the relationship between cause and result is necessary and we cannot imagine one of them without other. But Hume refused this imagining and he confirmed that this experience did not give us the necessary existing in causal relationship, what is that resource of necessary? Hume found after deep analysis, the idea of necessary connection between cause and result, we did not found it by experiment but by way of habitude and iteration.
