This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video focuses on David Hume's work, the Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, and discusses his important distinction between what he terms ideas and impressions of the mind. Many ideas are in some way copies or representations of the impressions we experience.

I always have trouble in philosophy when authors use words that are so common and general for us (like "idea" and "impression). This video helped me really understand what Hume meant when he made the distinction. Thanks!

Glad it was useful for you. You've kind of got it backwards, though. We're language users centuries after Hume. He's not using our common language and terms. We're using his. We're the latecomers

I’ve never been the biggest fan of Hume, but I do appreciate how how succinct his systems are. When I first started reading philosophy, Hume managed to really attract me into thinking more deeply about a lot of things.

Yes, I don't agree with him on much, but I do like reading him

Great videos. Getting acquainted with Hume surprised me. I now see him less of a precursor to lab sciences and more a precursor towards social theorists. Categories like Empiricism and Romanticism are booby traps.
@GregoryBSadler 4 жыл бұрын
Yep. Always a mistake to buy into the broad categories of grand narratives. The real history of ideas is so much more complex

so from my understanding, impressions are limited based on experience. What happens within this translation(if i can call it that) from impression to idea? What happens when I translate these ideas into the use of communication? (such as language, oral, written, etc.) What does this mean to the other person receiving this information? Very curious in this subject matter of the mind. What would you recommend I read for more questions about these things? Thank you!

can you make a comparison video between Hume and Locke view on Empiricism? I'm having trouble finding the differences between them for my upcoming presentation.

David Hume said that if people carefully examine the content of experience, they will find that there are only distinct identities: impressions and ideas . Does it mean that the origin of knowledge was the impression and ideas?

So perceptions are impressions. Are ideas equal to concepts?
@GregoryBSadler 4 жыл бұрын
Depends on what you mean by concepts. It's not a term that means precisely the same thing for each philosopher who uses it. Better to stick with the terminology of the author.
@jakopic 4 жыл бұрын
@@GregoryBSadler This is what I was wondering. Where does his idea of concepts lie in comparison to ideas. I have read little of humes work so I do not know how he defines concepts. In my view ideas are joined concepts with perceptions.
