""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 in 1824. The book challenges the ideas presented by David Hume in his work ""A Treatise of Human Nature"" regarding the relationship between cause and effect. Shepherd argues that Hume's theory, which suggests that causation is nothing more than a constant conjunction of events, is flawed and fails to capture the true nature of causation. Instead, Shepherd proposes that causation is a necessary connection between events, which is not dependent on our observations or experiences. The book is considered an important contribution to the philosophical debate on causation and has been praised for its clarity and cogency.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.
