Abstract

The aim of the article is to present the role of associations in Hume’s science of human nature. I analyse this issue with reference to his epistemological, ethical and aesthetical deliberations. Hume was the first thinker who made so wide use of associations in his description of the most important spheres of human activities, and, as we find in all his philosophical writings, was convinced that it was his greatest achievement. Referring to the ways in which imagination joins ideas, Hume was able to explain its mechanisms as a part of his model of human nature.
