Abstract

The question of cause and effect is an interesting and important one. Upon it and its interpretation many philosophers have argued. Some have said that cause and effect are considered together because of custom, but most of them have declared. the existence of a necessary connection between the two. Among the former is David Hume, an English philosopher of the eighteenth century; among the latter are classed most of the great philosophers of all times, including Plato and Aristotle, St. Thomas and St. Augustine. Indeed, if all of the latter were put side by side the line would be of unbelievable length, while the former would be almost unnoticeable if placed next to them.
