A NOÇÃO HUMIANA DE ‘CONSCIÊNCIA’ NO APÊNDICE AO TRATADO DA NATUREZA HUMANA

Authors

Keywords:

History of philosophy, David Hume, Consciousness, Self-consciousness, Mind

Abstract

The paper advances the hypothesis that David Hume does
not define consciousness as ‘perception or reflected thought’ such as a passage from the twenty-eighth paragraph of the ‘Appendix’ to the Treatise of Human
Nature seems to suggest. From the observation of some difficulties related to the understandings of consciousness as ‘perception’ and ‘reflected thought’, it is argued that, in that passage, Hume has in view the phenomenon of selfconsciousness, that is, the way in which the self is conscious of itself.
