Abstract

RésuméMartin Gerwin répond ici aux critiques adressées par Andrew Ward à son article de 1987 « Causality and Agency: A Refutation of Hume». Contre la position de Hume sur l'origine de notre idée de connexion causale, Gerwin défend une théorie actantielle; il est de ceux pour qui le processus d'acquisition des concepts causaux dépend de manière cruciale de notre expérience d'être agent et non seulement spectateur. Il soutient que le processus implique un usage de l'imagination créatrice pour l'invention des concepts et des hypothèses, qui aurait été exclu par les principes de Hume, mais qui s'accorde bien avec les résultats de la psychologie expérimentale.
