Abstract The Scientific Revolution demanded a rethinking of the relation between human beings and nature. The success of mechanistic explanation led to conceptions of the causal relation that take events, rather than substances, as the most fundamental relata. This change is evident in Hume’s own analysis of causation in terms of constant conjunction, and even more so in his applications of it, despite his own lingering use of the broad term ‘objects’ to refer to potential causes and effects.
