Description: Presents an interpretation of David Hume's account of what a 'cause' is. This book emphasises on the connections between Hume's theories of cause, space and time, morals, and aesthetics. It presents an argument that Hume's causal theory is best understood as 'quasi-realist', an intermediate position between realism and anti-realism.

Review Quotes: 'Angela Coventry's book is an outstanding example of the way in which philosophy's past and present can illuminate each other. This book will be of great value to anyone interested in Hume, causation, or metaphysics.' Don Garrett, New York University
