Something to Hume-er you;p Communication depends upon the supposition that other minds are like ones own and that anothers terms are affixed to the same ideas as ones own. Otherwise reasoning together would be fruitless. To discuss the origins of worlds beyond human capacity or the region of spirits is to waste time beating the air. This pertains to the long disputed question concerning liberty and necessity. It has been sophistry where a few intelligible definitions would have ended the controversy. It has long been believed that every motion is prescribed with exactness by the laws of nature. But from where comes this idea? We can only know that one event follows another, not that one was produced by another. Only conjunction is known, not connection or the relation of cause and effect.
