The historical philosophy may be designated as that portion of philosophy that investigates the origin and development of concepts, values, or practices. There are different views according to which the concept of cause and effect should be understood more as a cause and effect. For example, the cause and the effect of our activities are considered inseparable from our concept of cause and effect. Hence, the individual acts are regressions of the general will and necessity, resulting ultimately in the self-development of the universal will. This universal will, it is true, is a product of the intellect – but this generation will not be the one to solve the problem of the emergence of the concept of cause and effect, or the psychology of the phenomenon. The scientific knowledge, far from diminishing our conception of cause and effect, demonstrates that the nature of the problem is far from being resolved. Moreover, the foundation of knowledge lies in a series of events or developments that are considered "externally" necessary for the formation of institutions like the state or government. Hence, the separation between theory and empiricism must be maintained. Thoroughness and certainty are necessary, but hypotheses are defeated by history, and those who think otherwise are stigmatized.
