Explain Hume’s notion of causation from the Enquiry (i.e., what causation is, how we acquire knowledge of causation, etc.). Why does Hume remain skeptic regarding knowledge (any knowledge, including the knowledge of causation)? Then, explain why Kant (in the Prolegomena) does not end up with Hume's skepticism as far as the notion of causation goes. In other word, what does Kant have to offer to combat skepticism as far as knowledge in general, and knowledge of causation, in particular, is concerned?
Note that this question requires you to look at Hume’s theory of knowledge first and then, at Kant’s theory of knowledge.
