This article deals with actuality of Hume?s positive thesis about causality,   specifically in modern science. According to Dauer, Hume in his Treatise of   Human Nature does not deal with scientific theory which allows us, in modern   times, to come to the truth, and then necessity. Also, he claims that   observation alone, without theory is useless, which is the reason why we   need science to predict future events. I intend to show that all three   claims are incorrect, and to show an intimate connection of causality and   our intuitions.
