App C | p.276 | 8338 | A phenomenalist about objects has to be a regularity theorist about causation |
Full Idea: If you are a phenomenalist about objects, then there is an important sense in which you ought to be a Regularity theorist about what causation is, in such objects. | |||
From: Galen Strawson (The Secret Connexion [1989], App C) | |||
A reaction: Strawson is denying that Hume is a phenomenalist. One might go a little further, and say that a phenomenalist should abandon the idea of causation (as Russell did). |
