Abstract

Following the description of principles of association among ideas in A Treatise of Human Nature, and focusing on a reading of the Part IV, Section VI of Book I, this article debates on the idea of self in connexion to Hume’s project of an exam of human nature, with the final intent of briefly meditating on the possibility of finding in the scottish philosopher’s work an embryo of what would be the criticism of modern notions of identity, considering his approach to this “nature” as being in fact the opposite of what would be an essentialism of the human being
