Does anyone know of any essay, article or book which focuses on the project of reducing talk of Event Causation to that of Agent/Substance Causation or even eliminating Event talk altogether? I know Lowe was keen on this (though favoured the Reductionist project to the Eliminativist one). The tendency to think of causation in terms of Events has of course been one of the most invidious and unhelpful consequences of Humeanism, one which confuses even those sympathetic to realist accounts and cosmological agreements. This alone is good reason for us to prioritise carrying out such an analysis rather than defending it piece-meal as we go along.

 (I know I’m probably going to get rightfully bombarded with names I already know such as Mumford and friends – teaches me for not bothering much about Causation theorists)
