Humeanism
Journal of the American Philosophical Association 1 (1):96--102 (2015)
Abstract
ABSTRACT ABSTRACT: In metaphysics, the adjective âHumeanâ is used to describe positions that deny the existence of any necessary connection or causal influence in concrete reality. This usage has been significantly reinforced by David Lewis’s employment of âHumeanâ in the phrase âHumean supervenienceâ. It is, however, not at all clear that this usage is appropriate. Lewis himself raised a doubt about it.Author's Profile
