David Hume on Association - Dictionary of Arguments
I 13 Association/Hume: association is a natural law. Ideas: the effect of the association of ideas has three forms: 1. general idea (similarity) 2. procedure/regularity (through idea of "substance" or "mode") 3. relation: an idea draws another to itself. Thereby ideas do not acquire new quality. >Ideas. I 126f Association/principle/Hume: problems: 1. Association only explains the form of thought, not the content. 2. Association does not explain the individual contents of the individual. Solution: the explanation lies in the circumstances of the perception - also substances, general ideas and modes require the circumstances. >Circumstances, >Perception, >Thoughts. I 137f Associations/KantVsHume/Deleuze: the "Law of Reproduction" (frequent consecutive ideas set a connection) assumes that the phenomena actually follow such a rule (Kant pro). There must be a reason a priori -> synthesis of the imagination (not of the senses!). >Imagination, >Senses, >a priori, >Principles., >Principles/Hume. KantVsHume: Hume's dualism (relations are outside of things ) forces him to grasp that as the accordance of subject with nature. But this cannot be a priori, otherwise it would remain unnoticed. I 154 Association/Hume: association cannot select. If the mind was only determined by principles, there would be no morality._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
