Two of the three "connexions" proposed by this man are resemblance and contiguity, which link "matters of fact." He posited "custom or habit" as the "skeptical solution" to the problem of what underpins the third one, causality, in a work which denies that (*) miracles have ever happened. This man, whose work ended Kant's so-called "dogmatic slumber," claimed that reason is only the "slave of the passions" and gave a negative answer to the "is-ought" problem. For 10 points, name this author of Treatise of Human Nature and An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, a Scot.
