Year: 2008
Type: article
Abstract: In second book of the Treatise of Human Nature and also in the book An Enquire concerning Human Understanding, Hume sustain his position that the will act according to necessity, not according to freedom. Humean philosophy defends the existence of a necessary cause to the voluntary human actions, and that this cause is not the will´s own movement, but something prior to it, that establishes the generation of necessary effects. This paper aims to show his arguments and intents to indicate the importance of the search for regularities. Through such examination, we want to develop brief ideas about Hume´s meaning for certain areas of knowledge, as well as for the very meaning of humean philosophy. Keywords: determinism, human action, regularity, will.
