This essay proposes that Hume s non-substantialist bundle account
of minds is basically correct. The concept of a person is not a
metaphysical notion but a forensic one, that of a being who enters
into the moral and normative relations of civil society. A person
is a bundle but it is also a structured bundle. Hume s metaphysics
of relations is argued must be replaced by a more adequate one such
as that of Russell, but beyond that Hume s account is essentially
correct. In particular it is argued that it is one s character that
constitutes one s identity; and that sympathy and the passions of
pride and humility are central in forming and maintaining one s
character and one s identity as a person. But also central is one s
body: a person is an embodied consciousness: the notion that one s
body is essential to one s identity is defended at length. Various
concepts of mind and consciousness are examined - for example,
neutral monism and intentionality - and also the concept of privacy
and our inferences to other minds."
