Hume and the Problem of Causation
This chapter traces Hume’s search for the impression-source of the idea of necessary connection through Book 1 of the Treatise . It then sketches and evaluates the main interpretative positions concerning Hume’s account of causation. These positions characterize Hume either as a regularity theorist who thinks that causation is merely a matter of temporal priority, contiguity, and constant conjunction, a projectivist who takes causal talk to have …

Hume on causation
Hume on Causation is the first major work dedicated to Hume's views on causation in over fifteen years. It places Hume's interest in causation within the context of his theory of the mind and his theory of causal reasoning, arguing that Hume's conception of causation derives from his conception of the nature of the inference from causes to effects. Helen Beebee argues that Hume's interest in inductive reasoning is an interest in the psychological…
Truthmakers
The concept of truthmaking is attracting much attention in contemporary metaphysics. This work asks how the truthmaker principle should be formulated, whether it is well motivated whether it genuinely has the explanatory roles claimed for it and whether more modest principles might serve just as well.

Reply to Huemer on the Consequence Argument
In a recent paper, Michael Huemer (2000) provides a new interpretation for 'N', the operator that occurs in Peter van Inwagen's Consequence Argument, 2 and argues that, given that interpretation, the Consequence Argument is sound.I have no quarrel with Huemer's claim that the Consequence Argument is valid.I shall argue instead that his defence of its premises -a defence that allegedly involves refuting David Lewis's (1981) response to van Inwagen…

Transfer of Warrant, Begging the Question and Semantic Externalism
Martin Davies argues that ‘limitation principles’ block the transfer of warrant from the premises of a certain kind of argument to its conclusion. The class of arguments in question includes Moore's argument for the existence of the external world, and a popular style of argument which starts from two premises that are warranted by first‐person authority and semantic externalism respectively, ending with a conclusion that does not, allegedly, adm…
The Non-Governing Conception of Laws of Nature
The view is sometimes called the "Dretske-Tooley-Armstrong view", since Dretske (1977) and Tooley (1977) came up with similar views at the same time as, but independently of, Armstrong.I shall confine myself to Armstrong's formulation of the view since it is the most wellknown and detailed of the three. 3See Ramsey (1978); Lewis (
Counterfactual Dependence and Broken Barometers
El artículo consiste en una defensa del análisis contrafáctico de la causación de David Lewis en contra de un argumento presentado por primera vez por Eduardo Flichman. El argumento de Flichman involucra una situación en la cual tienen lugar los tres sucesos siguientes: p : una presión atmosférica de 1000mb b : el funcionamiento correcto del barómetro r : una lectura en el barómetro de 1000mb Si el análisis de Lewis ha de tener éxito, la fórmula …
