Hume: David

Meanwhile, electron theory was revived effectively in Hume-Rothery s own base of Oxford, and is now led by a distinguished mathematical physicist, David Pettifor. 

Most treatments, even when intended for materials scientists, of these competing forms of quantum-mechanical simplification are written in terms accessible only to mathematical physicists. Fortunately, a few translators , following in the tradition of William Hume-Rothery, have explained the essentials of the various approaches in simple terms, notably David Pettifor and Alan Cottrell (e.g., Cottrell 1998), from whom the formulation at the end of the preceding paragraph has been borrowed. 

To obtain the mass emissions of pollutants from e-waste recycling processes, it is essential that the inputs of pollutants are truly e-waste related. To fulfill this requirement, a causal analysis is desirable. However, the concept of causation is rather problematic because causal mechanisms are complex [26]. Nonetheless, we are compelled to identify causes, in an attempt to minimize the uncertainties associated with our estimates. In this chapter, the strict empiricist, David Hume s empirical criterion, was adopted. This approach requires only a combination of (1) e-waste processing and environmental pollution are associated in space and time (contiguity) (2) e-waste processing precede to environmental pollution (temporal succession) and (3) e-waste processing is always conjoined with environmental pollution (consistent conjunction). These are always the cases judged from a number of previous studies [6, 27-35].

The failure of David Hume s arguments has required modern opponents of design to advance other rationales for their views. In the remainder of the chapter I will consider the most frequently heard of the modern arguments against design. 

The philosopher friend of Richard Dawkins who thought that David Hume refuted the argument from design was mistaken in his philosophy as well as in his science. Elliott Sober is more successful with his philosophy, but apparently he is unaware of relevant developments in science. Although he thinks Hume was incorrect, Sober is unsympathetic to claims...
