This article centers on Hume's position on the intelligibility of natural philosophy. To that end, the controversy surrounding universal gravitation shall be scrutinized. It is very well known that Hume sides with the Newtonian experimentalist approach rather than with the Leibnizian demand for intelligibility. However, what is not clear is Hume's overall position on the intelligibility of natural philosophy. It shall be argued that Hume declines Leibniz's principle of intelligibility. However, Hume does not eschew intelligibility altogether; his concept of causation itself stipulates mechanical intelligibility.

Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation and Hume's Conception of Causality
Slavov, Matias (Vittorio Klostermann, 2013)This article investigates the relationship between Hume’s causal philosophy and Newton’s philosophy of nature. I claim that Newton’s experimentalist methodology in gravity research is an important background for understanding ... -

Static instability analysis of an elastic band travelling in the gravitational field
Banichuk, Nikolay; Jeronen, Juha; Saksa, Tytti; Tuovinen, Tero (Rakenteiden mekaniikan seura ry, 2011)Static instability analysis is performed for an axially moving elastic band, which is travelling at a constant velocity in a uniform gravitational field between two supports. The buckling of the band is investigated with ...
