Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges a fundamental philosophical concept: the nature of cause and effect. It takes aim at the influential ideas of prominent thinkers like Mr. Hume, Dr. Brown, and Mr. Lawrence, who argued that our understanding of cause and effect is based solely on habit and custom, not reason. The author argues that this view leads to dangerous skepticism about the power of the human understanding and ultimately undermines belief in a rational order to the universe. The author contends that we can reason our way to the knowledge that everything that begins to exist must have a cause, and that similar causes must necessarily produce similar effects. They then offer a counter-argument to the dominant theories of their day, claiming that the relation between cause and effect is not simply a matter of association in the mind, but rather an inherent connection in the nature of things themselves. By redefining the relationship between cause and effect, the author seeks to establish a more robust foundation for our understanding of the world and its workings, offering a compelling alternative to the prevailing skepticism of the era.
