He begins with a deceptively simple question: where do our ideas come from? From there, Hume investigates cause and effect, experience, belief, probability, miracles, and the limits of human reason. His famous analysis of causation challenges the assumption that we directly perceive necessary connections between events, arguing instead that our expectations are largely formed by habit and repeated experience.
