	abstract = {In this essay, I investigate the dynamic foundations of Hume{\textquoteright}s philosophy which is so heavily dependent upon Newton{\textquoteright}s physics. Hume{\textquoteright}s ubiquitous phrase {\quotedblbase}force and vivacity{\textquotedblright} is symptomatic of his dynamic, rather than voluntaristic, position that dominates his interpretation of impressions, ideas, and causality in particular. After pointing out some inconsistencies of Hume{\textquoteright}s Newtonism, I concentrate on Hume{\textquoteright}s treatment of power. It is a well-known fact that Hume rejected natural powers, in fear of their occult character, but accepted human powers giving them an actualist interpretation. I suggest that there is a dispositional treatment hidden in Hume{\textquoteright}s statements which puts Hume in line with other philosophers of power.},
