Hume plato.stanford.edu/entries/hume notes, our ideas do not occur randomly. If they did, we wouldn’t be able to think coherently. Thus he proposed the principle of association “There is a secret tie or union among particular ideas, which causes the mind to conjoin them more frequently together, and makes the one, upon its appearance, introduce the other.” Further, these associations follow three principles: resemblance, continuity in time and place, and causation. Of these, Hume recognises that causation takes us beyond our senses: it links present experience to past experiences and infers predictions of the future. Hume concludes that “all reasonings concerning matters of fact seem to be founded on the relation of Cause and Effect. This conclusion foretold the downfall of Descartes’s dualism. ~ Page 40
