Abstract

Abstract Recently there has been a pronounced shift in the interpretation of Hume on causation. The previous weight of opinion took him to be a positivist, but the new view is that he is a sceptical realist. I hold no brief for the positivist view, but I believe it needs replacing by something slightly different, and that at best it shows an error of taste to make sceptical realism a fundamental factor in the interpretation of Hume.
