| Causality: causality is the relation between two (separate) entities, whereby a state change of the one entity causes the state of the other entity to change. Nowadays it is assumed that an energy transfer is crucial for talking about a causal link. D. Hume was the first to consistently deny the observability of cause and effect. (David Hume Eine Untersuchung über den menschlichen Verstand, Hamburg, 1993, p. 95). _____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

David Hume on Causality - Dictionary of Arguments
Armstrong II 122 Causal Relation/Hume/tradition/Armstrong: in general, one assumes that the separateness is secured through that A and B are separated by any description, if it was not be self-contradictory, if A exists and B not. II 125 Place himself has rejected that 40 years ago, namely the view that two logically different descriptions cannot refer to one and the same thing. Order: distinctiveness of descriptions/of objects. Solution: we have to assume three entities here: hardness and inelasticity ((s) because its relative to partners). --- Danto I 307 Causality/cause/effect/Hume/Danto: there are in addition to eventual causal links still logical links because the various ideas are not randomly together in the mind. >Mind/Hume, >Ideas/Hume, >Association. --- Hume I 15 Causality/Hume: causality is affect! It is also an impression of self-awareness and an effect of similarity. The notion of causality is one with the notion of things. >Concepts, >Similarity. I 71 Causality/Hume: causality does not arise from probability (this may have to be determined at each stage of the habit) but from gradual observation. >Observation, >Probability. I 74 Its true content cannot be constituted in experience because it itself constitutes the experience. I 75 Ideas need to have a different context than mere individual events. Otherwise there is no inference from effect to cause. Solution: habit as a principle. Habits requires experience. >Experience, >Events, >Effect, >Cause/Hume. I 146 Causality/Hume: causality is the only relation, from which one can conclude. Experience is thereby purely selective and constitutive. Conclusion: the habit changes the level. >Description levels, >Levels. I 152 Causality literally stands for the property._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
