Our Experience Is of Particular Events

Multiple Choice

Our experience is of particular events.Causal laws, however, refer to all events of a cer- tain type.Therefore, in order to use our experience to test causal assertions, we must:

A) gather as many confirming instances as we can before declaring that we know any causal fact with certainty
B) not become confused by the apparent contradiction.Just because our experi- ence is only of particular events does not mean we cannot definitely declare
general laws to be true
C) remember that every time we confirm a causal assertion we are only confirm- ing a single instance of it
D) remember that no causal assertion is ever completely confirmed
