From: "Hume on Personal Identity"
by D. F. Pears, 1993
"Grice and Haugeland argue that causation presupposes personal identity and cannot, threfore, be used to explain it."
David Pears, “Hume on Personal Identity,” Questions in the Philosophy of Mind.

Pears goes on to argue that Grice/Haugeland are concerned with strict physical causation, while he and (he thinks) Hume are concerned with mental causation.
