[first paragraph] David Hume explicitly discusses memory at two places in his Treatise of Human Nature (THN 1.1.3, 8–10; 1.3.5, 84–6). 1 In both cases, he contrasts ideas of the memory with ideas of the imagination. In this chapter, we examine those discussions within the context of the philosophical principles he developed in the Treatise. We show that Hume championed a causal theory of the memory, that an idea of the memory represents the impression that was its original cause, and that Hume argued that one can never be certain that a putative idea of the memory fulfills those conditions.
