Proto-Humean Strains in Leibniz?s Analysis of Causal Relation
Original language description
The aim of the paper is to challenge an established doctrine according to which Leibniz conceives of causation in terms of a sort of the so-called hypothetical necessity. I argue that as far as one can tell from the textual evidence, Leibniz's concept ofcausation comes surprisingly close to an essentially Humean view according to which conceptual connections impose necessity only on our thought while in reality causation involves only regularities in the conjunction of contiguous objects.
