Question/Prompt
They pretend, that those objects, which are commonly denominated causes, are in reality nothing but occasions; and that the true and direct principle of every effect is not any power or force in nature, but a volition of the Supreme Being, who wills, that such particular objects should, for ever, be conjoined with each other. On the basis of the first dialogue between rationalists and empiricists, critically explain Hume’s claim and response to this claim.
