The secret connexion : causation, realism, and David Hume
Strawson, Galen1992
Books
It is widely supposed that Hume invented and espoused the "regularity" theory of causation. This book argues that the theory is indefensible, and that Hume never adopted it. It demonstrates that Hume claimed only that regularity of succession was all that we could ever know of causation.
