Constant conjunction information


In philosophy, constant conjunction is a relationship between two events, where one event is invariably followed by the other: if the occurrence of A is always followed by B, A and B are said to be constantly conjoined.[1] A critical philosophical question concerns the relationship between constant conjunction and causation, which has implications in the philosophy of science.
