Perception, Mind, Object, Skepticism, Imagination, BeliefAbstract
This article aims to analyse Hume´s discussion about belief in bodies, present in the section Of scepticism with regard to the senses, of Treatise of Human Nature, and in the section Of the academical or sceptical Philosophy, of Enquiries concerning Human Understanding. Particularly, its purpose is to show that the intelligibility of external existence is based on an activity of mind, through the work of the imagination, and requires a redefinition of the concepts of mind and perception. For this purpose, this article explains some assumptions of the question, such as the translation of external existence in the idea continuity and distinction, the separation between vulgar and philosophical system and the rejection of the senses and the reason as possible causes of belief in external world
