Many Think He Became Dissatisfied With His Account Of How We Come To Believe In A Persisting Self, But Strawson Suggests That The Problem Is More Serious The Keystone Of Hume's Philosophy Is That Our Experiences Are Governed By A 'Uniting Principle' Or 'Bond Of Union' But A Philosophy That Takes A Bundle Of Ontologically Distinct Experiences To Be The Only Legitimate Conception Of The Mind Cannot Make Explanatory Use Of Those Notions In The Way Hume Does As Hume Says In The Appendix To The Treatise Of Human Nature Having 'Loosen'd All Our Particular Perceptions' In The Bundle Theory, He Is Unable To 'Explain The Principle Of Connexion, Which Binds Them Together' This Lucid Book Is The First To Be Wholly Dedicated To Hume's Theory Of Personal Identity, And Presents A Bold New Interpretation Which Bears Directly On Current Debates Among Scholars Of Hume's Philosophy Binding:Paperback, PaperbackPublisher:OUP UKPublication Date:2013-05-30Weight:0.48 lbsDimensions:0.4'' H x 8.4'' L x 5.5'' WNumber of Pages:165Language:English
