Hume's Considered View on Causality

ABSTRACT: Hume presents two definitions of cause in his
\textit{Enquiry} which correspond to his two definitions in his
\textit{Treatise}. The first of the definitions is ontological and the
second is psychological; indeed, the definitions are extensionally and
intensionally distinct. The critical mistake of the skeptical
interpretation is the assumption that the two definitions are
equivalent, and the critical mistake of the necessitarian is the
assumption an association of ideas can be had from one experiment.
This paper attempts to clarify Hume's finally considered position of
causality. Link: http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/archive/00002247/01/causality.pdf
