This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video focuses on David Hume's work, the Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, and discusses his contention that we cannot know causes and effects in any a priori way (or as a relation between ideas), but only through experience, that is, in a posteriori manners.

Hi Dr. Sadler! I appreciate this video very much as a college student taking Philosophy that finds it very confusing and hard to understand. This was a great and easy to understand explanation of Humes critique on cause and effect. I will most likely be referring to more of your videos in the future!

Glad it was helpful for you. No, go back to the text and grapple with it some more!

I am teaching a chapter on causal arguments tomorrow in my Argumentation class and this helps in refreshing my memory of Hume's argument regarding the source of this kind of "reasoning". Thank you!

hello Dr. Sadler. Just finished watching the last four videos on Humes ideas of causality. And when I try to think about this issue, I cannot see how causality can start from empirical experience. Yes there is experience of causality, but how could you experience it, without a pure concept first. In other words, there must be something pre-reflective. To me, Hume seems too much of a psychologist. Good Lessons Dr. Sadler. thanks bruce

Hume seems to think that we get both the individual connections - this cause with this effect - and the general idea of causality not through any one experience, but through a number of interconnected experiences.

Hello professor, I am asking too much than I should but could you be extremely kind to teach the 'Introduction to Philosophical Analysis ' by John Hospers. I would be extremely grateful.

How is that relevant to this video?

It's not sir, I loved the lecture, but it was my way to interact with you as I am not aware of any specific ways in which we could communicate with you other than these comments. Anyway, I am extremely grateful to you for all the service you have done to humanity through these videos and I very much respect your work. Love and Respect, Sahil Sharma :)
