Necessary Socks
Description: "Seven centuries apart, a Persian theologian and a Scottish skeptic made the same observation: we never perceive the force that links cause and effect. A bold flame, a cotton boll and an empty space make the point. The critique of causation from al-Ghazali (1095) to David Hume (1748): a flame on one side, cotton burning on the other, and a question mark in the gap. We see one after the other, never the necessary connection. For philosophy students, scientists, statisticians who know correlation is not causation, readers of Islamic and Enlightenment philosophy and anyone who asks how we really know. A thought-provoking gift.
