Causality is a process that occurs due to constant human action throughout our daily lives. In saying that, describing it very simply as such can draw a definition from it; causality is the action of causing something (Oxford Dictionaries 2014). David Hume, a well-known philosopher on the topic of causation, observes that although we can understand that two events appear to occur jointly, we have no way of knowing the nature of the connection (T. Honderich 2001). Hume provides an exceptionally strong argument which this article will support and attempt using examples in order to reinforce and justify why Hume's theory is still relevant. This article will examine counterarguments offered by other philosophers who disagree with Hume's view in order to provide an unbiased view of this theory. First, this answer will discuss causality as a whole in order to provide a better understanding of the process in which cause and effect occur. Other areas of interest will be: is causation simply a habit of association, is there a probability that one thing can cause another, and finally the problems and counter-arguments that are obvious in 21st century philosophy. Our very first appreciation of causality comes from observing what is happening around us. These observations involve causes whose effects are immediately visible or visible to the observer (D. Shanks 1985). A simple example of causality is the process of turning a switch on or off. By doing so, one can see the instantaneous impact of turning the light on or off. Although there are a number of factors to consider, such as the effect of human nature. Even though turning the light switch to the on position provides direct intention... middle of paper... and practical, but because of this it has stood the test of time .Works CitedDriver, Julie. 2011.
