Más información sobre el libro

The book explores Hume's perspective on inductive reasoning, emphasizing that mental habits and customs, rather than logic, justify our beliefs in causation. It highlights the concept of "constant conjunction," where we only observe events occurring together, not direct causation. The text argues that drawing causal conclusions necessitates the assumption that future events will resemble past experiences, a metaphysical presupposition that cannot be substantiated by prior experiences.
