Introduction

David Edmonds and Nigel Warberton talk to Helen Beebe of Birmingham University. The 18th century Scottish philosopher David Hume bequive to the world of philosophy, a complex conundrum that remains unresolved. We assume that the law of gravity necessitates somehow that the pen will fall but in fact we don't actually see or experience this necessary link. There's surely not a mere generalization about how the world happens to behave says Beebe.
