David Hume on Terminology - Dictionary of Arguments
I 7 Affection/Hume: there is 1. affectivity (on sensations) and 2. the social (above the reason). I 23 Affect/affection/Hume: 1. Effects of the association: bring about generality, rules, 2. Effects of affect: give content, allow practical and moral action. Affect is not a representation. Reason does not determine action. Affect determines the act. I 31 Sympathy/Hume: sympathy leads us to abandon our interests. It is the basis of morality but only with respect to close loved ones or relatives > partisanship. The human being is less selfish than partisan. So the sympathy does not go beyond the individual interest or the affect. Human/Hume: the human is naturally selfish. Moral/Hume: moral is not dependent on instinct. I 49 Vivacity/Hume: problem: the general rule does not know an owner, it is abstract. Uniformity of the true moral judgment is not alive. I 56 General rule: unity of a reflection and an extension (here always expansion). The affect reaches beyond itself, because it reflects itself. The general rule is the reflected affect in the imagination. I 66 Affect/imagination/Hume: problem: how is the relationship that enables the affect to develop a complex effect? I 67 Solution: the principles of affect exceed the mind (like the principles of association), e.g. imagination goes easily from a remote thing to the next, but not vice versa, e.g. from brother to I, but not vice versa. An affect gives these connections a meaning. I 71 f Custom/Hume: paradox: a custom is formed gradually and is also a principle of human nature. A principle is the habit to adopt habits. So the development is itself a principle (= experience). I 89 Def Purpose/Hume/Deleuze: the purpose (Deleuze: finalité) is thought and not recognized as the original conformity of the principles of human nature with nature itself. It is the unity of origin and the qualitative determination. There are four principles: reason, instinct, procreation and growth. I 118 Affect/Hume: affect is produced by the body: a) directly from within itself: e.g. Hunger or b) with other causes: joy, pride, humility, etc. Nature has also provided the mind with certain instincts. I 139f Transcendence/Kant/Deleuze: the thinking goes beyond the imagination, without disengaging from it. The transcendental makes transcendence immanent. Something = X. HumeVsKant: in Kant's work is nothing transcendental. Instead: finality: the conformity of the subject with the given (not random). (The conformity requires a connection of the moments of the subject.) I 160 Vivacity/agile/Hume: the vivacity is the origin of the mind. It is the basic feature of the impression and not a product of principles._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
