ABSTRACT

In the camp of philosophers who followed the necessary or realistic interpretation of causation newly discussed the problem of nature in Law of Nature and argued their refined causal theory in comparison between the reductionist following Hume's tradition and their positions of causal existence. So, D. Armstrong pleading into Universals existence and M. Tooley pleading into causal realism, they tried to overcome the difficulty of regular interpretation about causation. At any rate, even though the Universals existence in D. Armstrong had its limit with narrowed necessary theory and M. Tooley advocated empiricism and well-fused causal realism, it seems to me that the harmony of platonic method of transcendental Universals theory and empiricism is hard to understand. It is true that causal mechanism or power producing a certain event can be existed objectively so that casual realism is viewed with new foundation to get over the problem of regular interpretation in causation and then insure the necessity of causation.
