- David Hume -Of the Association of Ideas
- Paragraph Two
- Here Hume states that there are 3 principles of association.
- Resemblance- This means by moving from impression of an object to other thoughts of the object. For example: I may think of a pen, which could lead me to think of a pencil case.
- Contiguity - This means moving from one idea of a specific time/place to another time and place. For example: On New Years Eve at midnight, it leads me to think of last New Years Eve.
- Cause and Effect - Moving from one idea to a seemingly connected cause/effect of that idea. For example: when I'm revising, it can then cause me to think of the exam.
- Here Hume states that there are 3 principles of association.
- Paragraph Two
- Hume states that every thought, imagination and memory are linked through a 'universal principle, which has equal influence on all mankind'.
- This shows proof that all simple ideas comprehended into complex ideas are bound together.
- Hume also states that even among different languages it is found that there is corresponding ideas between them.
