David Hume on Mind - 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 imagination and idea. Imagination: is no fortune, but a collection without uniformity.
>Imagination/Hume
, >Ideas/Hume.
I 14
Mind/Hume: the mind always remains 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, filled with impressions (not ideas). Ordered by principles are: 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. It 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 is therefore 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. >I, Ego, Self/Hume,
>Association/Hume.
