Previous issue date: 2009-09-25 / The goal of this dissertation is to follow the discussion about causation on David
Hume s philosophy. First, I try to show how such concept was treated by previous
philosophers that might somehow have influenced Hume. I then analyze his contribution to
the subject up to the point in which he introduces the idea of necessary connection. The
final part of the work is aimed at studying the most important interpretative branches that
try to make sense of Hume s ambiguous statements about necessary connection, and the
implications the correct understanding of this concept has for his theory of causation / O objetivo desta dissertação é acompanhar a discussão sobre o conceito de
causalidade em Hume. Faz-se primeiramente uma consideração histórica sobre como tal
conceito foi tratado por filósofos anteriores e que de alguma forma o moldaram até que
chegasse a Hume. Analiso então a contribuição do empirista inglês ao assunto, até o
controverso momento onde ele introduz a idéia de conexão necessária. A parte final do
trabalho é dedicada ao estudo das principais correntes interpretativas que tentam lançar luz
à verdadeira opinião de Hume acerca da conexão necessária e das implicações de tal opinião
para sua teoria

Law in 3-Dimensions2013 March 1900 (has links)
This project, overall, involves a theory of law as dimensions. Throughout the history of the study of law, many different theoretical paradigms have emerged proffering different and competing ways to answer the question ‘what is law’? Traditionally, many of these paradigms have been at irreconcilable odds with one another. Notwithstanding this seeming reality, the goal of this project was to attempt to take three of the leading paradigms in legal theory and provide a way to explain how each might fit into a single coherent theory of law. I set out to accomplish this by drawing on the field of theoretical physics and that field’s use of spatial dimensions in explaining various physical phenomena. By engaging in a dimensional analysis of law, I found that I was able to place each paradigm within its own dimension with that dimension being defined by a specific element of time, and in doing so much of the conflict between the paradigms came to be ameliorated.
The project has been divided into two main parts. PART I discusses the fundamentals of legal theory (Chapter 1) and the fundamentals of dimensions (Chapter 2). These fundamentals provide a foundation for a dimensional analysis of law which takes place throughout PART II. In Chapter 3, I argue that the three fundamental theses of Positivism coalesce with the 1st-dimension of law, which is defined as law as it exists at any one point in time. From there, I argue in Chapter 4 that the 2nd-dimension of law, being law as it exists between two points in time (i.e. when cases are adjudicated), is characterized by Pragmatism. I then turn, in Chapter 5, to argue that the 3rd-dimension of law, being law as it exists from the very first point in legal time to the ever changing present day, coalesces with the fundamental theses of Naturalism. Ultimately then, I argue that a theory of law as dimensions, through the vantage points of the specific elements of time, provides a more complete account of the nature of law.
