Abstract

The present article aims to analyze if the causality, as presented by David Hume, has any influence from the causality as developed by Newton, as some authors defend. Therefore, this article analyses the philosophical context which inserted Newton, how Hume evaluates Newton, and if his definitions of causality intertwine.
