What is David Hume's argument against our supposed knowledge of the principle of universal causality?
What will be an ideal response?
The principle of universal causality must be either a matter of fact, known through experience or a truth of reason, known a priori. It can't be the latter because I can imagine a world in which everything that happens does not have a cause. But neither is it a matter of fact, since I do not experience or perceive causes but rather witness two events, one of which I assume to be the cause, in light of the principle of causality.
