I'd like to know what you think of the "wrecking ball" which David Hume applies to science. Does he really show that the "necessary connections" which we commonly refer to as the "Laws of Nature" are merely based on psychological conditioning-- or, as he puts it, "constant conjunctions" of similar events? What do you think is-- or should be-- the impact of Hume and empiricism in this era of great scientific and technological advances? In addition, what is your assessment of Hume's attempt (as discussed in the Lavine textbook) to show that the traditional arguments for the existence of God fail?

Supreme court. jim, who is a bit eccentric, says that he is fed up with the way a certain employer in his town treats employees and that he is going to sue that employer in an effort to improve matters. jim also says that he is going to start his case at the appellate court level, skipping over all those "lesser" judges. jim says that those justices will surely hear him out and that he will also seek a jury. although he is not a lawyer, jim believes that the offenses of the employer are so severe that the justices will appreciate his attempt to make things better for the employees involved. will jim get a jury at the appellate court level?
