PONCE ANDAUR, Arnaldo  and  MUNOZ VALDES, Héctor. The causality from Hume to Kant: From the absolute dissolution of the concept to its constitution as law. Prax. filos. [online]. 2014, n.38, pp.7-25. ISSN 0120-4688.

In the present article, we expose the reflections developed by Kant and Hume on the (metaphysical) philosophy of the causality without insisting in the problematical aspects of that comparison. Rather it is indicated that both philosophies develop different extremes of one a priori. We will not take into account, to begin with, the terminology commonly accepted: The contraposition between rationalism and empiricism. On the contrary, no taking for established general characterizations, we expose idea after idea in its immediate significance. Nevertheless, it will be seen that Hume's perspective approaches to the transcendental perspective; and we will not try to evaluate Kant's philosophy from the psychological point of view of the causality, that supposedly is decisive in Hume

Keywords : a priori; cause; effect; succession; imagination.
