John Mackie.
Tried to define causation in terms of sufficient and necessary conditions, but he tried to do so without appealing to complex metaphysical entities (such as Lewsi's possible worlds).
To do so, Mackie introduced the term "INUS Conditions". Event A is a cause of Event B if A is an INUS condition for B: A is an "Insufficient yet Necessary" condition for some other "Unnecessary yet Sufficient" condition for B.
In simpler words: If A was a necessary part of another event C (C could not occur without A), and C is sufficient to bring upon B (C is enough to bring upon B, but B could occur in other ways as well), then A is a cause of B.
