David Hume on Past - Dictionary of Arguments

I 115
Past/Hume: the past is not just what has been, but what was considered important! It has never been presented as the past, but always as the presence.
Custom: a custom requires no memory.
Memory: the memory keeps the order, not the individual performances. It creates no synthesis of the time by itself and it does not overcome its structure.
Past/present: past and present are no characteristics of the time but the product of the synthesis.
>Mind/Hume.
