Hume's impact on causation
The Philosopher's Magazine (54):75-79 (2011)
| Abstract | Many philosophers came to regard “causation” as an illegitimate pseudo-concept. This was a dominant view in analytic philosophy until quite late in the twentieth century. Russell famously quipped that “the law of causality” was “a relic of a bygone age, surviving, like the monarchy, only because it is erroneously supposed to do no harm” | |||||||||
