Mystery Of Causality That Hume Defined

"Causal relationship" is a very important core concept throughout the history of Western philosophy, but also a hot topics in debate. In this area, Hume's research is on the key position.Hume established a unique research derection. He did not describe the picture on the laws of the world in his own opition, but to understand, interpret, and reflect the behavior of people; when he grasp, describe, explain and reflect on the relationship of people and the world , he did not chose the way about the faith (or called the arbitrary way) to claim that the subjective must understand the objective, but made a mild question that the human reason can react the objective world exactly or not. He was not trying to make a final settlement of causal relationship in philosophy area, but made some barrage for the traditional concept of causal relationship based on his research.At this way, Hume not only made a end of western inherent thinking mode about traditional philosophy, but also opened a new era of philosophical foundation. So Hume's contribution to the history of philosophy is not reflected in the construction of the problem, but rather lies in the deconstruction of the traditional, not the solution to the problem, but rather to ask questions, and opened up a new direction for development of philosophy. Although this new direction to complete by Kant finally, but the sign is set by the Hume, although the road was not paved by him, but the the door to the road is open by the Hume.This article attempts to analyze the criticisms for the human reason raised by David Hume at the scientific, the logic and ontology level, base on Hume's research.From this we can see that Hume's philosophy is not only about experience but also examine the possible concept meaning of causal relationship through his research.Then he refute and surpass both the experience and the rationalism. Hume attributed to the cause of causality for the habitual association. When he stressed the importance of imagination,the experience of people are no longer empty but the import of initiative based on people's imagination here . Although Hume did this initiative of non-rational understanding, but for future generations to make this clear direction provided rationaly.The contribution of Hume is to further people's understanding of ration.Therefore, when hume make the traditional metaphysics in the end, he also lay a new foundation for metaphysics.
