Inquiry Into The Relation Of Cause And Effect (1835)

By Thomas Brown

Book Overview

Inquiry Into The Relation Of Cause And Effect is a philosophical treatise written by Thomas Brown in 1835. The book explores the concept of causality and the relationship between cause and effect. Brown argues that causation is not a necessary connection between events, but rather a mental association that we make based on our experience of observing events that are regularly conjoined. He also discusses the limitations of human understanding when it comes to causality, and the role of language in shaping our understanding of cause and effect. The book is considered a seminal work in the field of philosophy of science, and has been influential in shaping modern debates on causation and determinism. It is written in a clear and accessible style, making it an important resource for students and scholars of philosophy, science, and logic.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
