Causation Challenge

Causation is the idea that something happened as a result of something else. (A caused B).

Rationalist

It is absolutely fundamental to us as human beings and could be innate and part of our mind. For example, the thought that the universe has no cause goes against our idea of causation and it doesn't seem right. Maybe it is built-in to us, an a priori synthetic truth?

Hume

We never experience causation/connections between events. We experience the constant conjunction of events/one events follow from the next. For example, at a snooker game we only experience a ball being caused to move by another ball but never causation itself. After repeated habit of experiencing this, we end up with the concept of causation.
