Discussion Question:

(2) Explain his idea that we do NOT see any power in objects by which they are able to bring about certain effects or a necessary connection between CAUSE and EFFECT?

(3) Do you agree with Hume that our minds simply manufacture the idea of ‘secret' power in a cause by which it brings about an effect or a necessary connection between CAUSE and EFFECT just like we manufacture (imagine) the idea of a golden mountain or the idea of a centaur (half human half horse)? Explain.
