causality

In philosophy, a consideration of the connection between cause and effect, usually referred to as the ‘causal relationship’.

If an event is assumed to have a cause, two important questions arise: what is the relationship between cause and effect, and must it follow that every event is caused? The Scottish philosopher David Hume considered these questions to be, in principle, unanswerable.
