In This Selection Hume Argues That a Person Does Not

question 10

True/False

In this selection Hume argues that a person does not have a self. He says that learning comes from sensory impressions and that there does not seem to be a separate impression of the self that we experience. Therefore, there is no reason to believe that we have a self. The most with which we can identify ourselves is our consciousness, and that constantly changes. There is no separate, permanent self that endures over time; personal identity is a fiction.
-According to Hume, in our stream of consciousness there is a kernel of unchanging substance.
