Now we are prepared to remove Hume's doubt. He justly maintains that we cannot comprhend by reason the possibility of causality, that is, of reference of the existence of one thing to the existence of another which is necessitated by the former.
I like that Kant points this out...I dont understant how Hume cannot understand that one thing leads to another...the existence has an effect on another thing and the effects just keep going on...cause and effect is what makes this world keep going...if it wasnt for one thing, we may not have another thing.

I think the way Kant sees this as well. I personally feel that Hume needs a reasoning for EVERYTHING. On the other hand, I like the fact that Kant uses more of a cause and effect relationship. Even though Hume uses that type of relationship too, I just feel that Kant does it in more of a pratical way
Kant is right. there are innumerable ways in which every single action, emotion, thought and word affects the world around us. if something exists and something else exists, those things exist together, not in seperate existences. even thought those things may never meet, there is always one thing leading to the other.
I agree that Kant has it right on this with just about everything has a cause and effect. I can't understand why Hume does not believe atleast somethings result out of cause and effect.
