I shall argue that when Hume refers to the laws of dynamics, he tacitly assumes a mechanism. Nevertheless, he remains agnostic on whether the hidden micro-constitution of bodies is machinelike. Hence this article comes to the following conclusion. Hume is not a full-blown mechanical philosopher. Still his position on dynamic laws and his concept of causation instantiate a tacitly mechanical understanding of the interactions of bodies.

休谟论动力学：机制的默认假设

我将论证，当休谟提到动力学定律时，他默认了一种机制。尽管如此，他仍然不知道隐藏的身体微观结构是否像机器一样。因此本文得出以下结论。休谟并不是一个成熟的机械哲学家。他对动态定律的立场和他的因果关系概念实例化了对身体相互作用的默契机械理解。
