SF181_AUS: 9. An issue concerning causation.
The famous Scottish philosopher David Hume pointed out that, in correlations, we don't actually see the power one thing has to cause another.
So while correlation ≠ causation we can make strong inductive arguments.
FriedrichHayek: 250 years of philosophers, economists, and social theorists have taken David Hume's reductio ad absurdum of the justification model of "empirical knowledge" and "causal explanation" as a modus ponens proof rather than a modus tolens detonation ..

BSerber: Reading David Hume was THE experience that made me go to grad school. What happened there? The job was so bad that I became a lefty unionist anyway! There's a reason the "conservative intellectual" pipeline comes with a truckload of money - rhymes with "shmaterial shmonditions."

LOLWUT?
JordanTahami: The idea that David Hume isn't being read in 'liberal' philosophy departments is preposterous. The problem is when you take Hume seriously you end up with a Critical philosophy like Kant's... and I don't see many conservatives trying to reconcile with that turn.

TheGurglingCod: This graf is especially hilarious. My man thinks what's stopping his David Hume Book Club from being a thing is a focus on research. Tell it to the majority of contingent faculty teaching four or more courses a semester.
