hume personal identity
heya
Im doing the sypnotic 'Compare and contrast Descartes and Hume on the mind' but i have no idea what Hume is talking about with personal identity. I especially do not understand this part of the first part of humes argument. What is he talking about?
'Although our ideas of identity (of an identical object invariant through a succession of moments) and of diversity (of several different objects in succession) are entirely distinct and even contrary to one another we commonly confuse these ideas with one another.
Anyone help would be great thanks!!

Hume doesn't think that there is any proof of 'consciousness through time' - this links in with his general view about personal identity which is that although we may be a 'bundle of perception' this cannot be linked to a specific 'I' as such (since he does not believe that we are conscious of anything more than the existence of thoughts - which change and do NOT pre-suppose existence of thinker.)
