Who killed the causality of things?

The article delves into the historical evolution of causal theory, tracing the shift from thing-causation to event-causation in philosophy. It discusses how prominent philosophers like David Hume challenged traditional causal realism, paving the way for a reevaluation of event causation.

This examination raises important questions about the implications of this shift for ongoing debates on causation in contemporary philosophy. [Extracted from the article]
