Re: On Hume and order in nature
[ QUOTE ]
I don't get the rest of what you say. I'm not sure what you mean by "order in the universe is axiomatic," unless you just mean something like we can observe that nature is uniform and therefore can accept it as a given.

What I mean is the fact that we exist alone is enough to show that the uniform is indeed ordered. Even if the laws change through space "somehow", there is at least order where we are. Life would not be possible without chaos. And as I said, this doesn't address the future, only the present. Life itself is proof enough that the universe is ordered. It wouldn't be possible in chaos. Axiomatic = self-evident. It's self-evident.
