David Hume on Mental States - Dictionary of Arguments
I 7 Mind/Hume: the mind has no consistency itself, only psychology of affections. An affect is possible. The mind must be affected. I 9 Mind/Hume: the mind is identical with an imagination and idea. Imagination: is no fortune, but a collection without uniformity. >Imagination/Hume, >Ideas/Hume. I 14 Mind/Hume: the mind remains always passive. It is not determinative, but it is determined. The act of the mind is activated, not active. I 7ff Mind/Hume: the mind is passive, empty and filled with impressions (not ideas). It is ordered by principles: association, contiguity, causality. (Inner) impression corresponds to self-awareness, that creates the subject. Ideas are atomistic. I 61 Mind/Hume: new: in so far as the principles of morality and emotions act upon it, it ceases to be imagination and is fixed as a part of human nature (complex instead of simple effect, that is the distinction culture/nature). Animal: an animal only knows simple effects. There are no exceeding rules. I 105 Mind/Hume: the mind is identical with the idea. The mind is not subject and it does not need a subject. Also, it does not represent nature. Perceptions are the only objects. Every idea can disappear. I 18 The mind therefore is quantitative, not qualitative. Invariant: the "smallest idea": e.g. I have an idea of the part of a grain of sand, but the images of it are all the same. Def "moment of the mind": is the citation of a smallest idea, but which is sensual. I 120 The mind transforms to the subject by the two principles of affect and association. >Association/Hume._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
