Abstract
The purpose of this article is to sketch a view of causality in which time and continuity are essential features. This is done through a critical examination of Hume's analysis of causality, in which continuity is denied by implication and time (despite his remarks on temporal precedence) is superfluous. It is seen that Hume's contention that "all events seem entirely loose and separate" is closely tied to his belief in the discrete nature of space and time, which in turn is based on his misguided rejection of infinite divisibility. It is concluded that causality must be conceived of as a continuous process and not simply as a set of relations. [Abstract from The Philosopher's Index]
