Abstract

This paper aims to study Hume's idea of causes and effects focusing on the problem of how knowledge is acquired. Since the necessary connection between cause and effect is copied, then does that means everything is entertained by custom? The paper consists of five sessions including introduction, and conclusion. The study began with the review of Hume's idea of necessary connexion, and two definitions of causes then go on to analyze and give a critical reflective on the subject in order to find the certainty from his philosophy.
