2. How does Hume's distinction between a belief and an imaginative fiction inform his remark that "belief is something felt by the mind, which distinguishes the ideas of the judgment from the fictions of the imagination"?
3. How do natural associations (e.g., custom, instinct) function in our experience of associating ideas (in resemblance, continguity, cause and effect) to promote our survival and the avoidance of evil?
4. What does Hume mean by saying that our idea of force, power, or necessary connection is not based on any external or internal impression? And why does he say this?
5. Some philosophers claim that if there are no intrinsic causal connections between bodies in the world or between minds and bodies, then God must be responsible for all causal interaction. What are Hume's two reasons for rejecting this?
6. How does Hume avoid the conclusion that we have no idea of connection or power at all?
7. For Hume, what is a constant conjunction? And what role does the imagination play in its determination?
8. How does Hume distinguish his two definitions of cause, first (ontologically) in terms of the conjoining of objects and, second (psychologically) in terms of the conjoining of ideas of those objects?
