Walter Isaacson Quote
Hume saw clearly that certain concepts, for example that of causality, cannot be deduced from our perceptions of experience by logical methods, Einstein noted. A version of this philosophy, sometimes called positivism, denied the validity of any concepts that went beyond descriptions of phenomena that we directly experience.
