This book brings together a team of international scholars to
attempt to understand David Hume's conception of the self. The
standard interpretation is that he holds a no-self view: we are
just bundles of conscious experiences, thoughts and emotions. There
is nothing deeper to us, no core, no essence, no soul. In the
Appendix to A Treatise of Human Nature, though, Hume admits to
being dissatisfied with such an account and Part One of this book
explores why this might be so. Part Two turns to Books 2 and 3 of
the Treatise, where Hume moves away from the 'fiction' of a simple
self, to the complex idea we have of our flesh and blood selves,
those with emotional lives, practical goals, and social relations
with others. In Part Three connections are traced between Hume and
Madhyamaka Buddhism, Husserl and the phenomenological tradition,
and contemporary cognitive science.
