Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hume argues that the principle of cause and effect is not known by innate knowledge or by demonstrative reason, but rather can only be known through experience. He claims that we cannot know a priori (before experience) that one event causes another, but rather we observe that certain events are constantly conjoined in our experience, and we come to infer a causal relationship between them through custom and habit. Therefore, the option C, "by experience alone" is the best choice.
