Question: For Hume, what is his philosophical perspective of "self". Make it briefly
Scottish philosopher David Hume questioned the existence of a personal identity or 'self'. He proposed a "bundle theory of the self", arguing that the self is nothing but a bundle of experiences or perceptions. According to Hume, we don't have a stable self that remains the same throughout our life. Instead, the concept of self is simply the result of our mind bundling together our ongoing stream of feelings, thoughts, and perceptions. Hume suggests that we construct the idea of a persistent 'self' to make sense of the constant flow and change of our experiences.
