David Hume wrote this text to be a new science of human nature. In it, Hume analyzes why we have such conceptions as
space and time, cause and effect, external objects, and personal identity. Moreover, he explains why it is that we assign
objects to such conceptions—why is it that we think causes are necessarily connected to effects; why do we think
enduring external objects exist; and why do we think of ourselves as enduring things called ‘selves’? It's important to note
that the subtitle is “an attempt to introduce the experimental method of reasoning into moral subjects.” He argues that
although we want to make our principles as universal as possible, we cannot go past what experience affords us. He is
deeply distrustful of a priori reasoning (reasoning that is beyond or prior to sense experience) of the rationalists like
Descartes.
Note that Hume is trying to give us a system based on real experience, but he remains skeptical of certain ideas. His
skepticism is described through detailed arguments and counterexamples like we saw in Unit 1. If we have to rely on
direct sensory experience as proof or evidence for our claims, then he wants us to question claims that are not related to a
direct sensory experience.

A Treatise of Human Nature - Book 1, Part IV, Section VI (Of Personal Identity)
by David Hume - From Book I, part IV, section VI in “A Treatise of Human Nature (1793)”. The Project Gutenberg
There are some philosophers who imagine we are every moment intimately conscious of what we call our SELF; that we
feel its existence and its continuance in existence; and are certain, beyond the evidence of a demonstration, both of its
perfect identity and simplicity. The strongest sensation, the most violent passion, say they, instead of distracting us from
this view, only �x it the more intensely, and make us consider their in�uence on self either by their pain or pleasure. To
attempt a farther proof of this were to weaken its evidence; since no proof can be derived from any fact, of which we are
so intimately conscious; nor is there anything, of which we can be certain, if we doubt of this.
Unluckily all these positive assertions are contrary to that very experience, which is pleaded for them, nor have we any
idea of self, after the manner it is here explained. For from what impression coued this idea be derived? This question it is
impossible to answer without a manifest contradiction and absurdity; and yet it is a question, which must necessarily be
answered, if we would have the idea of self pass for clear and intelligible, It must be someone impression, that gives rise to
every real idea. But self or person is not any one impression, but that to which our several impressions and ideas are
supposed to have a reference. If any impression gives rise to the idea of self, that impression must continue invariably the
same, through the whole course of our lives; since self is supposed to exist after that manner. But there is no impression
constant and invariable. Pain and pleasure, grief and joy, passions and sensations succeed each other, and never all exist at
the same time. It cannot, therefore, be from any of these impressions, or from any other, that the idea of self is derived;
and consequently there is no such idea.
But farther, what must become of all our particular perceptions upon this hypothesis? All these are different, and
distinguishable, and separable from each other, and may be separately considered, and may exist separately, and have no
Deed of tiny thing to support their existence. After what manner, therefore, do they belong to self; and how are they
connected with it? For my part, when I enter most intimately into what I call myself, I always stumble on some particular
perception or other, of heat or cold, light or shade, love or hatred, pain or pleasure. I never can catch myself at any time
without a perception, and never can observe any thing but the perception. When my perceptions are removed for any
time, as by sound sleep; so long am I insensible of myself, and may truly be said not to exist. And were all my perceptions
removed by death, and coued I neither think, nor feel, nor see, nor love, nor hate after the dissolution of my body, I should
be entirely annihilated, nor do I conceive what is farther requisite to make me a perfect non-entity. If any one, upon
serious and unprejudiced re�ection thinks he has a different notion of himself, I must confess I call reason no longer with
him. All I can allow him is, that he may be in the right as well as I, and that we are essentially different in this particular. He
may, perhaps, perceive something simple and continued, which he calls himself; though I am certain there is no such
principle in me.
But setting aside some metaphysicians of this kind, I may venture to af�rm of the rest of mankind, that they are nothing
but a bundle or collection of different perceptions, which succeed each other with an inconceivable rapidity, and are in a
perpetual �ux and movement. Our eyes cannot turn in their sockets without varying our perceptions. Our thought is still
As you read, consider the following questions:
Do we have an intimate connection to the “self” according to Hume?
Do we, in fact, have any experience or impression of the “self” according to Hume?
If one were to remove every thought, feeling, and sensation from an individual (such as
that which occurs at death), what would be left of the “self” according to Hume?
What, then, is the “self” according to Hume?
Making Connections
Notice that Hume’s discussion of the self depends on a logical claim, that we must have a direct experience or sense impression of the self if we are to conclude that the self exists. This is a form of deduction, “If I have a self, then I will have a direct impression of it. I do not have a direct impression of a self. Therefore, I do not have a self.”
As Hume describes death, how does it compare to what Socrates said regarding his charges in Athens the possibility that he will be given the death penalty?

more variable than our sight; and all our other senses and faculties contribute to this change; nor is there any single power
of the soul, which remains unalterably the same, perhaps for one moment. The mind is a kind of theatre, where several
perceptions successively make their appearance; pass, re-pass, glide away, and mingle in an in�nite variety of postures
and situations. There is properly no simplicity in it at one time, nor identity in different; whatever natural propension we
may have to imagine that simplicity and identity. The comparison of the theatre must not mislead us. They are the
successive perceptions only, that constitute the mind; nor have we the most distant notion of the place, where these
scenes are represented, or of the materials, of which it is composed.
What then gives us so great a propension to ascribe an identity to these successive perceptions, and to suppose ourselves
possest of an invariable and uninterrupted existence through the whole course of our lives? In order to answer this
question, we must distinguish betwixt personal identity, as it regards our thought or imagination, and as it regards our
passions or the concern we take in ourselves. The �rst is our present subject; and to explain it perfectly we must take the
matter pretty deep, and account for that identity, which we attribute to plants and animals; there being a great analogy
betwixt it, and the identity of a self or person.
We have a distinct idea of an object, that remains invariable and uninterrupted through a supposed variation of time; and
this idea we call that of identity or sameness. We have also a distinct idea of several different objects existing in
succession, and connected together by a close relation; and this to an accurate view affords as perfect a notion of
diversity, as if there was no manner of relation among the objects. But though these two ideas of identity, and a succession
of related objects be in themselves perfectly distinct, and even contrary, yet it is certain, that in our common way of
thinking they are generally confounded with each other. That action of the imagination, by which we consider the
uninterrupted and invariable object, and that by which we re�ect on the succession of related objects, are almost the
same to the feeling, nor is there much more effort of thought required in the latter case than in the former. The relation
facilitates the transition of the mind from one object to another, and renders its passage as smooth as if it contemplated
one continued object. This resemblance is the cause of the confusion and mistake, and makes us substitute the notion of
identity, instead of that of related objects. However at one instant we may consider the related succession as variable or
interrupted, we are sure the next to ascribe to it a perfect identity, and regard it as enviable and uninterrupted. Our
propensity to this mistake is so great from the resemblance above-mentioned, that we fall into it before we are aware;
and though we incessantly correct ourselves by re�ection, and return to a more accurate method of thinking, yet we
cannot long sustain our philosophy, or take off this biass from the imagination. Our last resource is to yield to it, and boldly
assert that these different related objects are in effect the same, however interrupted and variable. In order to justify to
ourselves this absurdity, we often feign some new and unintelligible principle, that connects the objects together, and
prevents their interruption or variation. Thus we feign the continued existence of the perceptions of our senses, to
remove the interruption: and run into the notion of a soul, and self, and substance, to disguise the variation. But we may
farther observe, that where we do not give rise to such a �ction, our propension to confound identity with relation is so
great, that we are apt to imagine [FN 10] something unknown and mysterious, connecting the parts, beside their relation;
and this I take to be the case with regard to the identity we ascribe to plants and vegetables. And even when this does not
take place, we still feel a propensity to confound these ideas, though we a-re not able fully to satisfy ourselves in that
particular, nor �nd any thing invariable and uninterrupted to justify our notion of identity.

[FN 10 If the reader is desirous to see how a great genius may be in�uencd by these seemingly trivial principles of the imagination,
as well as the mere vulgar, let him read my Lord SHAFTSBURYS reasonings concerning the uniting principle of the universe, and the
identity of plants and animals. See his MORALISTS: or, PHILOSOPHICAL RHAPSODY.]
Thus the controversy concerning identity is not merely a dispute of words. For when we attribute identity, in an improper
sense, to variable or interrupted objects, our mistake is not con�ned to the expression, but is commonly attended with a
�ction, either of something invariable and uninterrupted, or of something mysterious and inexplicable, or at least with a
propensity to such �ctions. What will suf�ce to prove this hypothesis to the satisfaction of every fair enquirer, is to shew
from daily experience and observation, that the objects, which are variable or interrupted, and yet are supposed to
continue the same, are such only as consist of a succession of parts, connected together by resemblance, contiguity, or
causation. For as such a succession answers evidently to our notion of diversity, it can only be by mistake we ascribe to it
an identity; and as the relation of parts, which leads us into this mistake, is really nothing but a quality, which produces an
association of ideas, and an easy transition of the imagination from one to another, it can only be from the resemblance,
which this act of the mind bears to that, by which we contemplate one continued object, that the error arises. Our chief
business, then, must be to prove, that all objects, to which we ascribe identity, without observing their invariableness and
uninterruptedness, are such as consist of a succession of related objects.
In order to this, suppose any mass of matter, of which the parts are contiguous and connected, to be placed before us; it is
plain we must attribute a perfect identity to this mass, provided all the parts continue uninterruptedly and invariably the
same, whatever motion or change of place we may observe either in the whole or in any of the parts. But supposing some
very small or inconsiderable part to be added to the mass, or subtracted from it; though this absolutely destroys the
identity of the whole, strictly speaking; yet as we seldom think so accurately, we scruple not to pronounce a mass of
matter the same, where we �nd so trivial an alteration. The passage of the thought from the object before the change to
the object after it, is so smooth and easy, that we scarce perceive the transition, and are apt to imagine, that it is nothing
but a continued survey of the same object.
There is a very remarkable circumstance, that attends this experiment; which is, that though the change of any
considerable part in a mass of matter destroys the identity of the whole, let we must measure the greatness of the part,
not absolutely, but by its proportion to the whole. The addition or diminution of a mountain would not be suf�cient to
produce a diversity in a planet: though the change of a very few inches would be able to destroy the identity of some
bodies. It will be impossible to account for this, but by re�ecting that objects operate upon the mind, and break or
interrupt the continuity of its actions not according to their real greatness, but according to their proportion to each
other: And therefore, since this interruption makes an object cease to appear the same, it must be the uninterrupted
progress o the thought, which constitutes the imperfect identity.
This may be con�rmed by another phenomenon. A change in any considerable part of a body destroys its identity; but it is
remarkable, that where the change is produced gradually and insensibly we are less apt to ascribe to it the same effect.
The reason can plainly be no other, than that the mind, in following the successive changes of the body, feels an easy
passage from the surveying its condition in one moment to the viewing of it in another, and at no particular time perceives
any interruption in its actions. From which continued perception, it ascribes a continued existence and identity to the
object.
But whatever precaution we may use in introducing the changes gradually, and making them proportionable to the whole,
it is certain, that where the changes are at last observed to become considerable, we make a scruple of ascribing identity
to such different objects. There is, however, another arti�ce, by which we may induce the imagination to advance a step
farther; and that is, by producing a reference of the parts to each other, and a combination to some common end or
purpose. A ship, of which a considerable part has been changed by frequent reparations, is still considered as the same;

nor does the difference of the materials hinder us from ascribing an identity to it. The common end, in which the parts
conspire, is the same under all their variations, and affords an easy transition of the imagination from one situation of the
body to another.
But this is still more remarkable, when we add a sympathy of parts to their common end, and suppose that they bear to
each other, the reciprocal relation of cause and effect in all their actions and operations. This is the case with all animals
and vegetables; where not only the several parts have a reference to some general purpose, but also a mutual dependence
on, and connexion with each other. The effect of so strong a relation is, that though everyone must allow, that in a very
few years both vegetables and animals endure a total change, yet we still attribute identity to them, while their form, size,
and substance are entirely altered. An oak, that grows from a small plant to a large tree, is still the same oak; though there
be not one particle of matter, or �gure of its parts the same. An infant becomes a man-, and is sometimes fat, sometimes
lean, without any change in his identity.
We may also consider the two following phaenomena, which are remarkable in their kind. The �rst is, that though we
commonly be able to distinguish pretty exactly betwixt numerical and speci�c identity, yet it sometimes happens, that we
confound them, and in our thinking and reasoning employ the one for the other. Thus a man, who bears a noise, that is
frequently interrupted and renewed, says, it is still the same noise; though it is evident the sounds have only a speci�c
identity or resemblance, and there is nothing numerically the same, but the cause, which produced them. In like manner it
may be said without breach of the propriety of language, that such a church, which was formerly of brick, fell to ruin, and
that the parish rebuilt the same church of free-stone, and according to modern architecture. Here neither the form nor
materials are the same, nor is there any thing common to the two objects, but their relation to the inhabitants of the
parish; and yet this alone is suf�cient to make us denominate them the same. But we must observe, that in these cases the
�rst object is in a manner annihilated before the second comes into existence; by which means, we are never presented in
any one point of time with the idea of difference and multiplicity: and for that reason are less scrupulous in calling them
the same.
Secondly, We may remark, that though in a succession of related objects, it be in a manner requisite, that the change of
parts be not sudden nor entire, in order to preserve the identity, yet where the objects are in their nature changeable and
inconstant, we admit of a more sudden transition, than would otherwise be consistent with that relation. Thus as the
nature of a river consists in the motion and change of parts; though in less than four and twenty hours these be totally
altered; this hinders not the river from continuing the same during several ages. What is natural and essential to any thing
is, in a manner, expected; and what is expected makes less impression, and appears of less moment, than what is unusual
and extraordinary. A considerable change of the former kind seems really less to the imagination, than the most trivial
alteration of the latter; and by breaking less the continuity of the thought, has less in�uence in destroying the identity.
We now proceed to explain the nature of personal identity, which has become so great a question ill philosophy, especially
of late years in England, where all the abstruser sciences are studyed with a peculiar ardour and application. And here it is
evident, the same method of reasoning must be continued which has so successfully explained the identity of plants, and
animals, and ships, and houses, and of all the compounded and changeable productions either of art or nature. The
identity, which we ascribe to the mind of man, is only a �ctitious one, and of a like kind with that which we ascribe to
vegetables and animal bodies. It cannot, therefore, have a different origin, but must proceed from a like operation of the
imagination upon like objects.

Hume says a body has a continued existence and identity if it changes:
(a) slowly, bit by bit over time
(b) quickly, ef�ciently
(c) from the outside in
(d) while being used, like a ship
The correct answer is (a) slowly, bit by bit over time.
A change in any considerable part of a body destroys its identity; but it is remarkable, that where the change is
produced gradually and insensibly we are less apt to ascribe to it the same effect. The reason can plainly be no other,
than that the mind, in following the successive changes of the body, feels an easy passage from the surveying its
condition in one moment to the viewing of it in another, and at no particular time perceives any interruption in its
actions. From which continued perception, it ascribes a continued existence and identity to the object.

But lest this argument should not convince the reader; though in my opinion perfectly decisive; let him weigh the
following reasoning, which is still closer and more immediate. It is evident, that the identity, which we attribute to the
human mind, however perfect we may imagine it to be, is not able to run the several different perceptions into one, and
make them lose their characters of distinction and difference, which are essential to them. It is still true, that every
distinct perception, which enters into the composition of the mind, is a distinct existence, and is different, and
distinguishable, and separable from every other perception, either contemporary or successive. But, as, notwithstanding
this distinction and separability, we suppose the whole train of perceptions to be united by identity, a question naturally
arises concerning this relation of identity; whether it be something that really binds our several perceptions together, or
only associates their ideas in the imagination. That is, in other words, whether in pronouncing concerning the identity of a
person, we observe some real bond among his perceptions, or only feel one among the ideas we form of them. This
question we might easily decide, if we would recollect what has been already proud at large, that the understanding never
observes any real connexion among objects, and that even the union of cause and effect, when strictly examined, resolves
itself into a customary association of ideas. For from thence it evidently follows, that identity is nothing really belonging
to these different perceptions, and uniting them together; but is merely a quality, which we attribute to them, because of
the union of their ideas in the imagination, when we re�ect upon them. Now the only qualities, which can give ideas an
union in the imagination, are these three relations above-mentioned. There are the uniting principles in the ideal world,
and without them every distinct object is separable by the mind, and may be separately considered, and appears not to
have any more connexion with any other object, than if disjoined by the greatest difference and remoteness. It is,
therefore, on some of these three relations of resemblance, contiguity and causation, that identity depends; and as the
very essence of these relations consists in their producing an easy transition of ideas; it follows, that our notions of
personal identity, proceed entirely from the smooth and uninterrupted progress of the thought along a train of connected
ideas, according to the principles above-explained.
The only question, therefore, which remains, is, by what relations this uninterrupted progress of our thought is produced,
when we consider the successive existence of a mind or thinking person. And here it is evident we must con�ne ourselves
to resemblance and causation, and must drop contiguity, which has little or no in�uence in the present case.
To begin with resemblance; suppose we coued see clearly into the breast of another, and observe that succession of
perceptions, which constitutes his mind or thinking principle, and suppose that he always preserves the memory of a
considerable part of past perceptions; it is evident that nothing coued more contribute to the bestowing a relation on this
succession amidst all its variations. For what is the memory but a faculty, by which we raise up the images of past
perceptions? And as an image necessarily resembles its object, must not. The frequent placing of these resembling
perceptions in the chain of thought, convey the imagination more easily from one link to another, and make the whole
seem like the continuance of one object? In this particular, then, the memory not only discovers the identity, but also
contributes to its production, by producing the relation of resemblance among the perceptions. The case is the same
whether we consider ourselves or others.
As to causation; we may observe, that the true idea of the human mind, is to consider it as a system of different
perceptions or different existences, which are linked together by the relation of cause and effect, and mutually produce,
destroy, in�uence, and modify each other. Our impressions give rise to their correspondent ideas; said these ideas in their
turn produce other impressions. One thought chaces another, and draws after it a third, by which it is expelled in its turn.
In this respect, I cannot compare the soul more properly to any thing than to a republic or commonwealth, in which the
several members are united by the reciprocal ties of government and subordination, and give rise to other persons, who
propagate the same republic in the incessant changes of its parts. And as the same individual republic may not only
change its members, but also its laws and constitutions; in like manner the same person may vary his character and
disposition, as well as his impressions and ideas, without losing his identity. Whatever changes he endures, his several
parts are still connected by the relation of causation. And in this view our identity with regard to the passions serves to
corroborate that with regard to the imagination, by the making our distant perceptions in�uence each other, and by giving
us a present concern for our past or future pains or pleasures.

As a memory alone acquaints us with the continuance and extent of this succession of perceptions, it is to be considered,
upon that account chie�y, as the source of personal identity. Had we no memory, we never should have any notion of
causation, nor consequently of that chain of causes and effects, which constitute our self or person. But having once
acquired this notion of causation from the memory, we can extend the same chain of causes, and consequently the
identity of car persons beyond our memory, and can comprehend times, and circumstances, and actions, which we have
entirely forgot, but suppose in general to have existed. For how few of our past actions are there, of which we have any
memory? Who can tell me, for instance, what were his thoughts and actions on the 1st of January 1715, the 11th of March
1719, and the 3rd of August 1733? Or will he af�rm, because he has entirely forgot the incidents of these days, that the
present self is not the same person with the self of that time; and by that means overturn all the most established notions
of personal identity? In this view, therefore, memory does not so much produce as discover personal identity, by shewing
us the relation of cause and effect among our different perceptions. It will be incumbent on those, who af�rm that
memory produces entirely our personal identity, to give a reason why we cm thus extend our identity beyond our
memory.
The whole of this doctrine leads us to a conclusion, which is of great importance in the present affair, viz. that all the nice
and subtile questions concerning personal identity can never possibly be decided, and are to be regarded rather as
gramatical than as philosophical dif�culties. Identity depends on the relations of ideas; and these relations produce
identity, by means of that easy transition they occasion. But as the relations, and the easiness of the transition may
diminish by insensible degrees, we have no just standard, by which we can decide any dispute concerning the time, when
they acquire or lose a title to the name of identity. All the disputes concerning the identity of connected objects are
merely verbal, except so fax as the relation of parts gives rise to some �ction or imaginary principle of union, as we have
already observed.
What I have said concerning the �rst origin and uncertainty of our notion of identity, as applied to the human mind, may
be extended with little or no variation to that of simplicity. An object, whose different co-existent parts are bound
together by a close relation, operates upon the imagination after much the same manner as one perfectly simple and
indivisible and requires not a much greater stretch of thought in order to its conception. From this similarity of operation
we attribute a simplicity to it, and feign a principle of union as the support of this simplicity, and the center of all the
different parts and qualities of the object.
Thus we have �nished our examination of the several systems of philosophy, both of the intellectual and natural world;
and in our miscellaneous way of reasoning have been led into several topics; which will either illustrate and con�rm some
preceding part of this discourse, or prepare the way for our following opinions. It is now time to return to a more close
examination of our subject, and to proceed in the accurate anatomy of human nature, having fully explained the nature of
our judgment and understandings.
The correct answer is (c) a republic or commonwealth, in which the several members are united.
In this respect, I cannot compare the soul more properly to any thing than to a republic or commonwealth, in which
the several members are united by the reciprocal ties of government and subordination, and give rise to other
