Considerações sobre o princípio de proporcionalidade entre a causa e o efeito nos Diálogos de Hume

The aim of this article is to analyze the fundamental principle — like effects prove like causes — on which Cleanthes supports his defense of the design argument in Hume’s Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion. It’s also intended to examine Philo’s argumentative strategy to gradually weaken the strength of the argument advocated by Cleanthes.
