Essay Upon The Relation Of Cause And Effect, Controverting The Doctrine Of Mr. Hume: Concerning The Nature Of That Relation (1824)

""An Essay Upon The Relation Of Cause And Effect, Controverting The Doctrine Of Mr. Hume: Concerning The Nature Of That Relation"" is a philosophical work written by Mary Shepherd and published in 1824. The book presents a critical analysis of the philosophical ideas of David Hume, particularly his concept of causation. Shepherd argues against Hume's theory that causation is nothing more than a constant conjunction of events, and instead proposes her own theory of causation as a necessary connection between cause and effect. The book is divided into three sections, each of which examines different aspects of causation and its relation to other philosophical concepts such as necessity, contingency, and substance. Shepherd's work is considered an important contribution to the field of philosophy and has been studied and debated by scholars for centuries.With Observations Upon The Opinions Of Dr. Brown And Mr. Lawrence, Connected With The Same Subject.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
