26. Natural Theory / C. Causation / 9. General Causation / a. Constant conjunction

8338	A phenomenalist about objects has to be a regularity theorist about causation [Strawson,G]
	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).
