| description | Hume distinguishes between the self of thought and imagination and the self
of the passions. He is criticized for contradicting himself as he allegedly
attributes fictitiousness to the self in book one of the Treatise but later
reintroduces the self in books two and three. Hume’s account of the idea of
the self, however, is not contradictory: he shows the impossibility of a
pure associationist-empiricist account of the self. Instead, he proposes a
social account of the constitution of the idea of the self and
consciousness. In doing so, Hume’s account of the self anticipates
social-historical theories of the self. |
